Abstract
Map. In top right corner is a heraldic dedication to Sr. William Glynne of Bissister, signed R.B. In lower right corner: Francis Lamb Sculp. This map is an exact copy on a slightly smaller scale of Sanson's map of "Basse Aethiopie", Paris, 1655. An earlier ed. with a different dedication is dated 1669; this ed. appears in Varenius' "Cosmography," 1683 & 1689, for which Blome supplied the maps.
