Description

Striking example of John Speed's decorative map of Africa.

The side borders contain two sets of five decorative costumes of various African peoples; the top border shows views of eight African cities.

The source of the Nile is based upon Ptolemy (two lakes) Monomotapa which dominates southern Africa.

The map is richly illustrated with animals, ships, sea serpents and other decorations.
