"[Lot of 3] Asie [and] Afrique [and] Oceanie", Poirson, Jean Baptiste

This attractive group of maps representing the Eastern Hemisphere was published in Malte-Brun's Traite Elementaire de Geographie. Each map shows political boundaries in original outline color with good detail of topography, the river systems, and numerous place names. In Africa, the Mountains of the Moon appear in the center of the continent, but they are not shown as the source of the Nile. Decorated with fancy titling. Engraved by Thierry.

Condition: B+

Issued folding with original outline color. The map of Asia has faint offsetting and the map of Africa has several small brown ink spots in the image.
