PASCAERTE VAN CIMBEBAS EN CAFFRARES STRECKENDE VAN CATEMBELA TOT CABO DE BONA ESPERANCA, map of Cimbebas and Caffraria from Catembela to Cape of Good Hope 

42 x 51 cm, hand-coloured, framed, Amsterdam, 1715 

A Louis Renard edition of Frederick de Wit's 1680 sea chart which remains unchanged except for imprint. 

A sea chart with its title cartouche in Latin and Dutch. On the far left appears to be a group of Europeans conducting trade negotiations. Centrally, a group of three lions, a leopard, and a snake divide the cartouche. On the right appear two concealed 'natives'. The lower right corner of the sea chart depicts Neptune and a female figure drawn in a chariot by three horses. The scale is not decorated. The coastline shows an unusual number of inlets and the island of S. Elena Nuova is somewhat further south than usual.
