1774: Sr. Danville map shows West Central Africa Jews (jan 1, 1774 – jan 1, 1775)

Description:

The Sr. Danville map, which is a collaboration with Solomon Bolten and Emanuel Bowen (creator of the 1747 map), shows Lamlem (West Central Africa) as “peopled by Jews.”
To the west of Abyssinia (Ethiopia) on the map, it appears to say “Falasjam Jews exiled”. Falasjam may be an older spelling of Falasha.
