Large and very graphic map by the preeminent German cartographer. The map itself is very detailed showing the domains of desert tribes by means of little tent cities. It extends to include the Canary Islands and Madeira. In the upper left is a large pictorial cartouche with merchants, soldiers, wild animals, a view of Tanger and a sea battle. Below the map are two panoramic city views of Morocco and Mequinetz.
