An 18th century map of Africa below the Equator

Africa south of the Equator, based on Delisle. In the upper reaches of the Zambezi River gold mines are marked, which have been associated with the myth of Solomon & Ophir, and were the inspiration of Rider Haggard's 'King Solomon's Mines'. A box of descriptive text is located in the bottom right corner. From volume six of Châtelain's monumental 'Atlas Historique'. A fine example.
