This image features an allegorical representation of the continent of Africa, which was typical in historical cartography and artwork. At the top of the image, an engraved character, presumed to symbolize Africa, is seated in an ornate chariot with large feather-like plumes, possibly denoting royalty or significance. The person holds a parasol-like object, which could represent protection or status. The chariot is drawn by two animals that resemble lions, indicating the association of Africa with its wildlife, particularly the lion, often called the king of beasts. Below the engraving is text in French that translates as follows: "Africa. The second part of the world, situated towards the middle, under the burned zone; its lands are sterile and scarcely inhabited, except towards the coasts and in some places. Its peoples are black or tawny." The text and portrayal reflect the period's limited and biased view of Africa, emphasizing the exoticism and otherness from a European perspective. At the top right corner, there's a symbol that appears to be a spade (from playing cards), but its significance in the context of this image is not clear without additional information.

This appears to be a historical playing card or illustration representing Africa, marked with the spade suit symbol (K♠). The image shows an ornate chariot being pulled by two lions. The chariot carries a figure holding what appears to be a parasol or umbrella. Below the illustration is French text that describes Africa as "the second part of the world, situated toward the south, under the torrid zone. Its lands are sterile and sparsely inhabited, except near the coasts and in some places. Its peoples are black or dark-skinned." This appears to be from an old French deck of educational playing cards, likely from the 17th or 18th century, given the style of engraving and the handwritten-style text. The illustration combines classical European artistic elements with period Europeans' perception of Africa, reflecting the colonial era's understanding and representation of the continent. The card is an interesting historical artifact that shows how Africa was perceived and portrayed in European educational materials of that time period, though it contains outdated and stereotypical colonial perspectives.
