Empire des Abissins Comme il est Presentment.

(Africa- East- Abyssinia- Red Sea- Adel- Nubia)

Issued Paris, 1686 for A.M. Mallet.

Charming late 17th century copper engraved map, with pleasing full hand color.

The image has a near folk-art feel, a style unique to this historical era. Utterly unlike anything produced today and of modern aesthetic appeal for this reason.

Mostly clean and well preserved example, the image displays a fine patina.

Sheet measures c. 8 1/4"H x 5 1/8"W.

Printed area measures c. 5 5/8"H x 4"W.
