Descripción

A stunning map of Arabia and northeastern Africa (from Libya and Egypt in the north to Somalia and the Gulf of Guinea in the south). 50 x 62 cm (plate), 55 x 76 cm (sheet). Arabia, Egypt, Sudan, and Abyssinia (Ethiopia) are wonderfully detailed; the interior much less so, with some marvelously cryptic comments ("Desert de Berdoa, d'une grande sÈcheresse, o˘ il n'y a pas de s˚retÈ pour les marchands ‡ cause de voleurs"; "Royaume de TÈmian, dont les habitans sont ‡ ce qu'on dit Antropophages.") Printed on fine, thick watermarked laid paper. Original outline color. Reverse blank. A fine impression. Three small faint stains in the upper margin that could easily be removed, and that in any case would be invisible were the map matted and framed), else A PRISTINE EXAMPLE, with the paper FINE AND BRIGHT. Very scarce in such fine condition.
