de Fer, N.
Partie Meridionale d'Afrique . . ., [1715]
8.5 x 12.5 in.
Uncolored.
Better than Very Good, moderately toned, with some marginal chipping.
 
Nice small map of Southern Africa, with historical and geographical commentary. Coastal areas are shown with reasonable accuracy, Mountains and river systems become more speculative in the interior. De Fer omits Ptolemy’s Mountains of the Moon, still shown on some maps of this period, leaving blank large parts of the northern interior.

Tooley (Africa), p. 45, plate 35.
