The cartouche is a cliff bearing the title with palms, huts & an elephant in the foreground. A key identifies points on the mainland & another the islands and bays. This attractive map gives an idea of contemporary knowledge of the area from "Klipping Eyland" to "Cape Falso". Of personal interest is addition in this edition of "Muyzenberg about 1300 feet high." About 20 farms and settlements are named as well as Constantia and Stellen bosch. The Drakenstein mountains form the eastern boundry of the Cape. Reference: Klemp. Africa on Maps. Page 52. Map 69.
