[Africa]. CORONELLI. Africa According to the Most Recent Accounts... Paris: J. B. Nolin, 1689. A copperplate engraving in black, with colored borders (marginal foxing, restored). A map of Africa engraved on copper by H. van Loon, based on the work of Vincenzo Maria Coronelli (1650–1718), and printed by Jean-Baptiste Nolin in Paris. It is adorned with two decorative cartouches. The significance of Nolin’s map of the African continent lies in the fact that it is based on the most recent discoveries made by European expeditions. This is evident from several details that the author includes on the map.
