Petermann was a German cartographer who was appointed as director of the geographical institute of Justus Perthes in Gotha in 1854, after spending most of his early career in England. At Gotha he introduced innovative and progressive ideas based on both his German and English experience. He also started the first European geographical journal.
The map contains a great deal of information and shows the route of explorers such as Livingston, Krapf, Ladislaus Magyur, Silva Porto, Speke, etc. There are also detailed insets of Table and False Bay on the map.
