Naukeurige beschrijvinge der Afrikaensche eylanden : als Madagaskar, of Sant Laurens, Sant Thomee, d'eilanden van Kanarien, Kaep de Verd, Malta, en andere ...
A 1668 Dutch geographical description of African islands, Madagascar, the Canaries, Cape Verde and Malta, written by Olfert Dapper and published in Amsterdam by Jacob van Meurs for a seventeenth-century armchair reader. The pictures are copperplate engravings: coastlines with ships, a sea-battle scene, a walled harbour town with a coat of arms, and a navigational chart with a compass rose, rhumb lines and putti, which a designer might use for period maps and nautical motifs.
