About This Item
Engraved map, slight outline coloring, decorative rococo boarder with landscape style, cartouche, 12" x 10.7". Decent margins, but bottom margin a little narrow, minor aging, light pencil notation in right margin; overall in excellent condition with a very strong impression. While the interior of the map doesn't show a substantial amount of geographical detail, this appears typical of the period. There are some large rivers and lakes that are identified. The Nile appears to rise from two small lakes in the Mts, de la Lune above the Equator. In the south there aren't a lot of places named, but there are still some tribal names present.
