Large and very graphic map by the preeminent German cartographer of the 18th century. The map itself is very detailed showing the domains of desert tribes by means of little tent cities. It extends to include the Canary Islands and includes an inset of Madeira. In the upper left is a large pictorial cartouche with merchants, soldiers, wild animals, a view of Tanger and a sea battle. Below the map are two panoramic city views of Morocco (Marrakech) and Mequinetz (Meknes).
