Description
A beautiful colored map of the whole continent of Africa.
Together joined the related index sheet!
The continent is divided into regions, whose borders are drawn in detail and sometimes denoted with color.
Shown on the map are numerous large lakes and rivers, deserts, mountains, and hundreds of place names. Most of this information is imaginary, as the interior was not explored until well into the 19th century.
The origin of the Nile is based upon early geography by Ptolemy. The kingdom of Monomotapa comes down as far as the Rio de Infante. A decorative title cartouche shows human inhabitants, lions, and an elephant.
