Afrika

(Continent of Africa, possible Mountains of the Moon)

Issued Glogau, Germany, c.1850 by C. Flemming.

Lithographed by Hubner

Lovely antique lithographed map, with original outline hand color. Fascinating geographic and topographical interior details, including what appears to be the ever moving hypocryphal "Mts. of the Moon" near the source of the Nile river. Here this random mountain range falls within the area often seen for this mythical range, and is named "Gebel Marrah".

In near VG or better condition, minor light surface age wear and toning as typical, some faint minor foxing in the blank margins, overall the image is clean, well preserved and very attractive.

Sheet measures c. 17" x 14 3/4"

Engraved area measures c. 15 1/2" x 12 1/2".

Folio.
