This image shows a document describing the exploration of the West African coast by the Portuguese, starting with Prince Henry the Navigator and continuing after his death in 1460. The text details how the coast was divided for trade purposes into Upper and Lower Guinea, and then further subdivided into the Grain Coast, Ivory Coast, Gold Coast, and Slave Coast, named after their principal exports. The descriptions include the modern-day locations associated with each coast and the resources or commodities of interest to the Portuguese. The image was presumably taken in the city of Unknown, Unknown.
