"Africae Propriae Tabula. In qua, Punica Regna Vides; Tyrios, et Agenoris Urbem", Jansson, Jan

This decorative map covers the coastline of present-day Tunisia and Libya. It is based on Ortelius' map of the same title, which in turn was based on Gastaldi's great map of Africa and the ancient texts of Diodorus, Siculus, Plinius, Virgilius, Appianus, Halicarnasseus, Athenaeus, and Herodotus. The map extends to include Sicily and Malta. Richly embellished with a fine title cartouche and a large text block enclosed in a strapwork cartouche. French text on verso.
