On this particular map, Hérisson offers an overview of Africa, divided into its various kingdoms and territories. The map is distinguished by its accurate depiction of political boundaries, major rivers, mountain ranges and coastlines, all meticulously drawn to provide a clear and instructive representation of the continent. Striking WALL MAP of AFRICA in beautiful hand-coloring!!! Dimensions: 85 x 117 (engraving), 92 x 122 cm (paper). The map was bigger than the handmade paper they were able to make at that time; therefore it was printed on two sheets and than joined. Very good condition.
