The Zambesi river has not been fully charted; some parts appear to have been assumed, being indicated by a dotted line, which suggest that the course of the river was circular! Most of the Congo river is uncharted, . Engraved by Edwd. Weller. Published 1863. Antique map with original outline colour. Size 32 x 45 cm | 12.5 x 17.5 inches.
