Samuel Boulton’s 1787 map of Africa, published by Robert Sayer as Africa, with all its States, Kingdoms, Republics, Regions, Islands, &ca., is one of the most important 18th-century maps of Africa. It is a monumental work of late 18th-century commercial cartography that incorporates all of the scientific knowledge of Africa at the time and blends geography with trade and ethnography. It follows d’Anville’s earlier restrained style, depicting well-charted coasts and leaving interiors cautiously annotated, while ocean currents, an Azores inset, and especially a detailed inset of the Gold Coast underscore its maritime and commercial purpose. Long textual panels along the margins describe Africa’s natural products, trade, and customs, effectively turning the map into a handbook for merchants and readers interested in exploration and commerce. Published in the very year Britain’s abolitionist movement formally organized, the map captures the stark tension of its moment: the height of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, meticulously documented through forts and trading posts, on the eve of growing humanitarian opposition. Its enduring influence was reinforced by subsequent reissues in atlases and by Laurie & Whittle after Sayer’s death, preserving it as one of the key late-Enlightenment depictions of the African continent.

This map is a reproduction of a historical map that is now in the public domain. It has been selected for its aesthetic appeal and historical interest and carefully restored and reproduced to preserve its original detail and character.  There may be marks and fold lines visible which add to the authentic look.  The map is printed on 230gsm heavyweight coated paper with a matte finish.  Most old maps were printed on uncoated rag or wood pulp papers and therefore a matte finish best represents the original map.

This was a very disappointing purchase
Color: Silver
This kitchen soap dispenser with sponge holder looks really nice in the picture, but..... it is so......flimsy. It is so lite weight that it almost falls into the sink every time I try to dispense dish washing soap. I was really looking for something rather heavy in weight (because of the metal) but elegant looking. I guess this is just one of those items that you actually need to see and feel before purchasing. I kept it because I needed some kind of soap dispenser after another soap dispenser, of which I purchased from Amazon over a year ago, it was made of plastic, and it broke. It was heavy and really looked nice on my sink. I guess I am still looking for a good one.

Shows smudges on its stainless steel...
Color: Silver
Nice compact size sitting next to our SS sink. However, you'll spend more time cleaning the SS soap dispenser as it continually picks up fingerprints and smudges.

Sponge Holder
Size: 7.125 x 2.875, Color: Black, Size: 7.125 x 2.875, Color: Black
This sponge holder is a simple upgrade that makes a big difference in keeping the sink area clean and organized. The suction cup holds firmly to the side of the sink, so it doesn’t slide around or fall off like cheaper options. It easily fits both a sponge and a steel scrubber, keeping them elevated and allowing them to dry quickly, which helps prevent odors and bacteria buildup. The open wire design is especially useful because it allows water to drain instead of pooling at the bottom. Installation is quick and requires no tools—just press it onto a clean surface and you’re good to go. It also keeps the countertop clutter-free, which is a nice bonus. Overall, it’s durable, functional, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Great value for anyone looking to keep their kitchen sink area tidy and hygienic.
