Description

A small and very decorative map of Africa, although, according to Tooley, 'extraordinarily inaccurate', with the Nile extending further south than Lake Zaire, and every inch of the map filled with fictitious detail. From the 'Atlas Minor'. A delightful title cartouche, with a dragon, snake, lion, crocodile, parrots and pyramids, fills the lower left corner.

Condition:

Narrow margins, original folds flattened.
