"P. les du Zaara" issued Frankfurt, 1719 by A.M. Mallet.
Mallet was a well traveled military engineer and geographer who worked in 17th century France under King Louis XIV. This view is from his scarce monumental work "Description de L'Univers." In our experience we have found early 18th century depictions of the Sahara desert to be uncommon. Here numerous figures are seen fighting wild beasts of this region.
In near excellent antiquarian condition with attractive full hand color on a c. 6 3/4 " W x 8 1/4 " H sheet, (image size is c. 4 " W x 6 " H).
