Large and very finely engraved map of the continent shows political boundaries delineated by engraved line and beautiful hand coloring. The interior still shows a large, but increasingly smaller, blank area. The mapped areas show rich information including villages, trails, deserts, oases, topography and many helpful notations. This decorative map is embellished by fancy titling with flourishes and a keyboard style border.
