- Description:
-
Cartouche provides an elaborate scene depicting natives on the Nile bank. Nearby are
monkeys, a sheep and a tortoise. Cherubs floating above complete the picture. Even though
the map includes a note declaring the accuracy for the source of the Nile, it proves to be
inaccurate; Prime meridian through Tenerif. Colored Dr. Oscar I. Norwich
