Description
The standard map of South Africa throughout the 17th century covering the region from Congo-Zanzibar to the Cape. Based on the map of Portuguese exploration and most detail is confined to the coastlines. There are two large lakes in the interior.
The lake out of which the Zambere (Zambesi River) flows is probably based on reports of Lake Ngami, which was not conclusively discovered until the mid 19th century.
The interior is filled with indigenous animals and ships sail the sea. The title cartouche with African people.
