An attractive map of southern Africa from Congo and Kenya to the Cape. The region's empires and kingdoms are drawn as they were known to Europeans at the time. Much of the interior geography of Africa is entirely fictional, despite Bowen's claim that this map is based on the "best authorities, assisted with the most approved Charts & Maps." Several small notations provide colourful details about the supposed inhabitants of the African interior, such as "This Nation is said to make use of Lions in fighting" and "where the Portuguese are said to Trade for Cloth made of the Bark of Trees". Coloured.
