The antique map titled ‘Gvinea’, created in 1665, depicts the region of West Africa known as Guinea. The title translates to Guinea, which was a term used to refer to the region that encompasses modern-day Ghana, Liberia, Ivory Coast, and parts of Mali. In the early 17th century, Ghana was a thriving centre of trade and commerce, with several coastal ports like Lagos, Accra, and Abidjan serving as crucial hubs for the transatlantic slave trade. The map provides a glimpse into the region’s geography and natural resources, including its rivers, mountains, and forests, which were critical to the region’s economy and development.
