Nubia East Africa Nile River Egypt Abyssinia 1683 Mallet miniature map Celebes (France- Newly described)Nubie. (Africa, East Africa, Nubia, Abyssinia, Egypt, Nile River). Issued 1683, Paris, for A. M. Mallet. Charming 17th century copper engraved map with lovely hand color. The image has a near folk art feel, a style unique to this historical era. Utterly unlike anything produced today and of modern aesthetic appeal for this reason. Mostly clean and well preserved example, the image displays a fine patina. Sheet measures c. 7 7 8" H x 5 7 8" W. Printed
