"Charte von Senegambien, Nigritien und Guinea...", Reinecke, Johann Matthais Christoph

This is an interesting early 19th century German map of the western part of Africa during the period of rapid colonial expansion. Most of the place names appear along the coasts and the Niger River, although there are settlements and topographical elements identified farther inland. The Sahara is prominently shown. An inset above the title cartouche details the Cape Verde archipelago. Published by Weimar Geographisches Institut.
