About the Item
Antique map titled 'l'Afrique Divisée en ses Empires, Royaumes, et Etats'. Decorative large map of Africa. The cartography is typical for the 17th century with the Nile originating in two large lakes below the equator. The River Zaire (Congo) also arises from Lake Zaire. The Kingdom of Monomotapa is shown with its capital on the Rio de Spirito Santa, and Vigiti Magna is also depicted. The map is richly embellished, also in the 17th century style, with two elaborate cartouches featuring allegorical figures and wild animals. Published by J.B. Elwe, 1792.
