Samuel Augustus Mitchell Jr.’s 1864 Map of Africa Showing its Most Recent Discoveries, published in Mitchell’s New General Atlas in Philadelphia, reflects the mid-19th century moment when fresh reports from explorers were rapidly reshaping knowledge of the continent. Presented on a single folio sheet with Mitchell’s distinctive ornamental border, the hand-coloured map outlines Africa’s colonial possessions, kingdoms, and tribal regions, while cautiously incorporating the latest geographic information from figures like Heinrich Barth, David Livingstone, and Burton and Speke—most notably partial depictions of Central and East Africa’s lakes and the speculative sources of the Nile. The inset in the lower left quadrant features the remote island of St. Helena. Though the map leaves much of the interior blank or tentative, its emphasis on “recent discoveries” catered to an American audience fascinated by commerce, exploration, and missionary work. Issued decades before the Scramble for Africa, it underscores coastal European footholds while illustrating a cartographic transition away from inherited speculation toward evidence-based geography, making it both a decorative household reference and a record of Africa on the cusp of modern mapping.

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.

💕 LOVE
I almost didn't purchase because I was nervous about the shedding. To my surprise the quality is fantastic. Minimal shedding and soooo soft! The size is perfect for a TON of stuffed animals along with blankets. Good bang for your buck!! Makes organization a breeze!! It is very durable when needing to move!

Too expensive to rip within hours
Color: Leopard Print Brown, Size: Large(38"x38"x40")
The handle ripped off while carrying, which left a giant hole on the top. The beanbag was in no way overstuffed or heavy. Not worth the money.

Overall good
Color: Leopard Print Pink, Size: Large(38"x38"x40")
It is super cute, I was nervous about the pattern and color because it’s not something I usually go for. But because the fabric is also long faux hairs it’s more of a ridged obre. The handle isn’t as strong as they recommend filling it to. So I recommend bear hugging it to move it around. You can put a lot in it if you want a harder chair but I filled it 3/4 full. The size is a little smaller so it’s more a medium.

Perfect bean bag
Color: Leopard Print Brown, Size: Large(38"x38"x40")
I bought some of the foam filler to go in it but it wasn't enough; However, if you have spare blankets, out of season clothes or anything that's cloth you can fill this up with it! Helps with storage as i rotate my clothes and blankets. It looks great in my room, soft and high quality. And it's easy to wash and clean HOWEVER with the foam, i would recommend a mesh bag so when you have to wash it, you don't get foam everywhere.
