This interesting map of the southern part of Africa and Madagascar contains numerous historical and geographical notations. Among the geographical errors is a large bulge in the southwest coastline. Notations describe the Portuguese discoveries of St. Helene, Tristan Island, and the Cape of Good Hope. The large title cartouche is decorated with a galleon and a comical-looking sea monster. Engraved by C. Inselin.
