Antique Map of North and West Africa by J.B. Elwe, 1792

About the Item

Beautiful richly engraved map of North and West Africa, based upon the earlier maps of De L'Isle. Richly annotated throughout and with excellent regional detail. Too much detail to describe. The engraving quality reflects the fine work of Elwe, who produced one of the last great decorative atlases.
