Description: Striking map of the Northwest Coast of Africa, from Barbary to the Congo, centered on the Slave Coast. Nice detail in the interior to Nubia, much of which is myth and conjecture. Decorative title cartouche. From Mallet's monumental Description de l' Univers, first published in Paris in 1683, perhaps the greatest work of its kind in the 17th Century.
