This interesting and uncommon late 18th century map of Africa shows good detail both along the coastlines as well as in the interior. Most regions are named including Cafreria, Hottentots, Nubia, and the Sahara, here labeled Zaara or the Desart. The twin lakes of Zaflan and Zaire appear just below the equator, but neither is identified as the source of the Nile. The map stretches to include the eastern tip of South America, as well as parts of Europe and Asia, but these areas are largely left blank. A decorative plinth title cartouche at bottom left features a native with bow and arrow.
