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.

Very nice
Size: Large, Color: (100) White / White / Pitch Gray
I just received these for my son. They are very nice and look sturdy, but he hasn't worn them yet, so I cannot speak to how well they hold up in the wash or when worn. They appear to be the right size and look stretchy, but not the kind of stretchy that feels super tight on the foot (which I don't like). If they wear unusually well or poorly, I will come back and edit this.

A sock with real support and thickness!
Size: Large, Color: (001) Black / Black / Pitch Gray
I’m pretty happy with these. It seems like sock manufacturing changed 10-15 years ago, and it’s become hard to find pairs that are actually thick and durable. I bought these for an event where I knew I’d be on my feet all day, and they did not disappoint. They provided excellent support throughout the day, even while wearing shoes that typically make my feet ache after just a couple of hours. Glad to finally find a pair that feels well-made.
