This large and very graphic map shows the domains of desert tribes by means of little tent cities. It extends to include the Canary Islands and an inset of Madeira. In the upper left corner there is a large pictorial cartouche with merchants, soldiers, wild animals, a view of Tangier, and a sea battle. Below the map there are two insets featuring panoramic city views of Morocco (Marrakech) and Mequinetz (Meknes).
References: Norwich #300.
Condition: B+
Contemporary color in the map with later color in the cartouche and panoramic views, on paper with an elephant watermark. There is minor soiling and a few short tears along the centerfold that have been closed on verso with archival tape.
