There is a fair amount of detail on the eastern coast reflecting the Portugese and Arab trading interest. Then Mogadishu, Mombassa, Quiloa [Kilwa] and Mozambique are shown as major towns. The west coast is shown from Benin to Angola with the major feature being the Zaire River. Below the equator are located two large lakes that form the source of the Nile River. This map was origionally published by Jansson and is nearly identical to Blaeu's map of the same title and is distinguised by the flourishing calligraphy in the oceans. This edition was published by Valk & Schenk with their imprint added.
