Handsome map displaying Seutter's strong engraving style. The map is packed with detail - much of it fictitious. The Nile is shown not only originating in twin lakes, but also continuing further south nearly to the tip of the continent. A lake joins the Senegal and Niger rivers. The large, uncolored cartouche is beautifully engraved and surrounded by natives and exotic animals including a large winged dragon.
A few spots in blank lower ocean, still very good.
Ref: Phillips (A) 3492.
