Africæ Deſcriptio Nova Impenſis

Description:

Colored

Similar to Chetwind's map (see NOR 0039). The ocean is decorated with ships, flying fish
and sea monsters. Elephants, lions, ostriches, and giraffes are illustrated on the mainland.
"The River Niger is erroneously mapped and there are many ficticious lakes in Central
Africa."

Dr. Oscar I. Norwich
