Cite de Loango Tiree de Dapper

C18th birds eye view of the African Kingdom of Loango and now the western part of the Republic of the Congo, Southern Gabon and Cabinda. Situated to the north of the more powerful Kingdom of Kongo, at its height in the 17th century Loango influence extended from Cape St Catherine in the north to almost the mouth of the Congo River.  Loango exported copper to the European market, and was a major producer and exporter of cloth.
