| Stunning early woodcut map of West Africa and the Gulf of Guinea embellished with animals, sea monsters, sailing ships, and native figures. Drawn by Giacomo Gastaldi, one of the greatest early cartographers, for publication in Ramusio's Delle Navigationi Et Viaggi. Lovely strong impression. [AFR4435] |
