Old Map of Africa by Abraham Ortelius, 1570 - First Map of African Continent - Nubia, Zanzibar, Central Africa, Nile Size:12x16in (30x40cm) ice limits and currentsThis is a very fine example of the very first atlas map of Africa by Dutch cartographer Abraham Ortelius in 1570. This map was originally handcoloured almost exactly 450 years ago and has been lovingly restored by The Unique Maps Co. This is the best and most iconic map of the African continent from the 16th century. A must have addition to any collector of world maps. This map looks great at all sizes from 12x16 inches (30x40cm), to 16x20 inches
