Historic Map - Africa - 1660
Description
Africa nova descriptio. Auct: Guiljelmo Bleauw
This beautiful map of Africa was originally created by famed Dutch cartographer Willem Bleau in 1617. The map went through several reprints during the 1600's, with this map being produced by Bleau's son Joan in 1660. This wonderfully detailed map includes insets of several cities: Tangier, Ceuta, Algeria, Tunisia, Alexandria, Alcair, Mozambique, S. George del Mina, and the Canary Islands.
