Historic Map : Blaeu Map of The Maghreb or Barbary Coast, Northern Africa, 1640, Vintage Wall ArtThis is a fascinating example of G. Bleau's decorative c. 1640 map of the Maghreb or Barbary Coast of northern Africa. It covers from the Morocco to the Nile Delta. The region consists of the modern day nations of Tunisia, Libya, Algeria, Egypt and Morocco. The map offers excellent detail throughout showing mountains, rivers, national boundaries, cities, regions, and tribes. As Bonne was preparing this map, the Barbary Coast was a hotbed of piracy

This is a fascinating example of G. Bleau's decorative c.1640 map of the Maghreb or Barbary Coast of northern Africa. It covers from the Morocco to the Nile Delta. The region consists of the modern day nations of Tunisia, Libya, Algeria, Egypt and Morocco. The map offers excellent detail throughout showing mountains, rivers, national boundaries, cities, regions, and tribes.

As Bonne was preparing this map, the Barbary Coast was a hotbed of piracy - much like the Somali coast today. The Barbary Pirates would attack trading ships passing through the narrow Gibraltar straits and western Mediterranean. Ships would be destroyed or appropriated, cargo sized, and the crews and passengers enslaved. By the early 19th century, piracy in this region would become so intense that the United States would launch its first major naval offensive against Tripoli. The resultant 1805 Battle of Derne would later inspire a portion of the lyrics of the Marines' Hymn, 'the shores of Tripoli.'

In addition to Bleau's fascinating depiction of the region, among the most in any mapping of this region during the time, there are also a number of attractive decorative elements. The land is filled with several animals throughout, including elephants, ostriches, antelopes, monkeys, crocodiles, prehistoric fire breathing dragons, etc., while a ship sails in the Mediterranean near Cyprus and the mouth of the River Nile. A decorative baroque title cartouche appears at the lower left quadrant and in the lower right quadrant, another smaller cartouche frames the distance scales, surrounded by three monkeys.

Light weight and large privacy screen
Color: Black, Color: Black
The privacy screen is light weight and of great quality. The screen can block sight and also is easy to set up. It screen is sturdy and stable. It is a cheap solution for separating paces in rooms. The privacy screen is of black color and good good in many places. It can be folded when not used and does not take much space for storage.

Great divider!
Color: Black, Color: Black
This was really easy to set up and really works to decide the room. The material is dark enough that you have your privacy. Good for the price

Over all review
Color: Black
It’s not a bad divider, the instructions are okay but once I figured it out on my own it was easy. The quality is fine I like how it’s made of metal. The only downside is fall for me is the height. I’m 5”4” yet it’s suppose to be 6 feet tall but it seems to be a little shorter than that. If it was taller and the instructions a little more clear it would get 5 stars.
