Condition is Almost Very Good. Copper etching in very delicate modern coloring of the northwest African coast showing the coastline of Morocco, Sahara, Mauritania, Senegal, Gambia, to Guinea Bissau and the islands of Madeira, the Canary Islands, and the Cape Verde Islands. Very attractive anonymous map with a delightful title cartouche and a compass star. Engraved on behalf of the Count of Maurepas in 1738. Several folds to fit small book size, and right margin is typically slanted for binding fold.
