DESCRIPTION

This is a beautiful and striking example of Homann's map of West Africa. The map shows the Gulf of Guinea up to Cape Blanc, Niger River, Aethiopiae Inferior and Anterior, Guinea and neighboring regions. The map is beautifully hand-colored in outline and wash as published. The map shows relief pictorially, ports and towns, waterways and bodies, and many notations describing the indigenous, along with one of the more highly decorative cartouches by Homann in the lower left.
