An uncommon and attractive map of all southern Africa including Madagascar. Published in de Fer's "Atlas Curieux" the map has a large decorative title cartouche and shows some detail, albeit supposed, of the interior while the coastline is relatively accurate. Notes in the sea areas describe the discovery of the Cape by Diaz in 1486 and De Gama's voyage of 1498 and other discoveries.
