map rare and authentic from 1863, entitled: "Sketch of the white river of Gondokoro to the cataracts of Makedo and the Gniri peak".

It offers a detailed view of the regions crossed by this river, in particular the rapids and cataracts which punctuate its course. This period corresponds to an intense phase of European exploration in Africa, marked by the quest for the sources of the Nile, a perilous but crucial mission for the geographical and colonial ambitions of the time. Alfred Peney, French explorer and cartographer, contributed greatly to this enterprise with his precise surveys and detailed observations. His work not only enriched the geographic.
