Description
Cartouche provides an elaborate scene depicting natives on the Nile bank. Nearby are monkeys, a sheep and a tortoise. Cherubs floating above complete the picture. Even though the map includes a note declaring the accuracy for the source of the Nile, it proves to be inaccurate; Prime meridian through Tenerif., Nuremberg. Homann, Johann Baptist, 1663-1724
