In stock
A map of southern Africa below Angola and Zanzibar, based on Portuguese surveys before the Dutchman Van Riebeek had settled at the Cape. A decorative cartouche shows natives holding up an animal skin on which is the map title.
First published in 1636 this is a very close copy of Blaeu's map: the most obvious difference is the lack of a galleon between the mainland Madagascar.
