Handsome lot of two depicting Africa's west coast from Morocco to Angola, locating many harbors and capes. The first map shows the northwestern coast starting at the Strait of Gibraltar and continuing through Senegal, with the Cape Verde and Canary Islands included offshore. The second map covers the Grain, Ivory, Gold, and Slave coasts and extends south to Angola. Both maps are embellished with a colorful compass rose and decorative title cartouche featuring leaf and scroll motifs.
