South Africa [And the Island of Madagascar]. This map reflects the limited state of European knowledge of southern Africa at the time, while nevertheless incorporating much detail. Many regions have been left blank, or details and names are shown in a lighter print and with dotted lines to reflect uncertainty or hypothesis. The courses of numerous rivers appear to be conjectural. Parts of the Zambesi are clearly marked with solid lines; other parts are marked in lighter dotted lines - the combined river as marked incorporates a circuit, which is clearly impossible. Lakes Malawi "Maravi or Nyanja" and Tanganyika are named separately but shown as a single body of water by Weller, Edward. Published 1860. Antique engraved atlas map with original hand colour/color. Size 37 x 53 cm | 14.5 x 21.0 inches. Condition: Good; suitable for framing. Please check the scan for any blemishes prior to making your purchase. This is a folding map. There is nothing printed on the reverse side, which is plain.
