Scarce and lovely map of Africa that predates the mid-19th century explosion of European exploration of the continent (see large unexplored area in lower half of map). Shows the full continent from the Atlantic Ocean to the Horn of Africa, and from continental Europe to the Cape of Good Hope. As with many antique maps of Africa, speculative ideas about the continent’s topography abound, such as the Mountains of the Moon, which practically connects the continent’s east and west coasts. Numerous African tribes are identifies across the map, including the Pomba, Jaga, Tbook, Tuareg, Tibboos and Bambara. An area of Mozambique (on the west coast) is shown as being inhabited by cannibals. A clean and lovely antique map on thick paper and in full period hand coloring. 8.75 x 11.5
