Original antique print

A charming and informative map of the east coast of Africa beginning in the north with part of Sierra Leone followed by the other countries on the Gulf of Guinea as far south as Angola. All along the coast are names of the major settelments of the time. In the upper right corner is a key showing the letter which determines whether these settelments are English, Dutch or French. To the right of the decorative cartouche is a small windrose. To the left are the islands of S. Matteo and Ascensione. The language of this map is Italian.

The right margin of this map has a small repaired tear. Vertical fold in the middle and another fold in the right half. The condition is otherwise Almost Very Good.
