Description:


Copper-engraved map. 38.5x49.8 cm (15¼x19½"), archivally matted & framed under UV protective glass.



Attractive and decorative map of eastern and central Africa, depicting the legendary Christian Kingdom of Prester John. Fabled rivers and numerous exotic animals fill the empty spaces of the unexplored interior. There is a fair amount of detail on the eastern coast, reflecting the Portuguese and Arab trading interests. Mogadishu, Mombassa, Quiloa [Kilwa] and Mozambique are shown as major towns. The west coast is shown from Benin to Angola, with the Zaire River. Below the equator are located two large lakes which are the source of the Nile River. Handsomely framed by Schein & Schein, San Francisco. Provenance: Barbara Keck.

Condition
A touch of marginal soiling, very faint darkening along centerfold; else fine.
