East Africa Coast of Adel Red Sea Nubia Arabia 1683 old Mallet map hand color Saw Mill River overall the sheet & imageEmpire des Abissins Comme il est Presentment. (Africa East Abyssinia Red Sea Adel Nubia) Issued Paris, 1686 for A. M. Mallet. Charming late 17th century copper engraved map, with pleasing full 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
