Description
Discover Africa as it was in 1856 with this fascinating map by Mitchell and Cowperthwait, published in Philadelphia as part of “Mitchell’s School Atlas”. This hand-colored steel engraving is among the last to show the fictitious “mountains of the moon”, which were thought to divide the continent and be the source of the Nile. A large unknown region is shown in the center, with many tribes and groups named. An insert of Liberia with notes is also included. Measuring 11" x 9", this map is in very good condition, with some foxing. Its authenticity is guaranteed.
