[Amsterdam, 1596]. 2 feuilles, chacune de 390 x 530 mm. Superbe exemplaire de l'une des cartes les plus décoratives figurant la moitié sud du continent africain, gravée par van Langren pour l'Itinerario de Linschoten. Les deux feuilles sont ornées de magnifiques cartouches de titre style Renaissance. Les mers sont traversées de lignes de rhumbs, de roses des vents, de navires et de monstres marins, tandis que les terres sont décorées de petites vignettes figurant des éléphants, des lions, ainsi qu'une scène représentant l'empereur chrétien Prester John. La feuille figurant la partie ouest de l'Afrique est ornée de deux vues des possessions portugaises de Sainte-Hélène et de l'Ascension, et des armoiries du Portugal décorant le cartouche de titre en latin et hollandais. La feuille figurant la partie orientale de l'Afrique est l'une des premières à représenter cette partie de l'Afrique. Elle s'étend de Doara à R. do Infante, et montre l'ile de Madagascar. Très bel exemplaire aquarellé. Tooley, MCC n°29,
