Elaborate map of the eastern part of the Mediterranean decorated above and below with vignettes showing episodes from the travels of St. Paul. Cartouches, compass rose and sailing ships further embellish the map. This is a later state with Stoopendaal's imprint replaced by that of Pieter and Jacob Keur. Dutch text on verso.

A little faint offsetting and toning, still a very attractive example with wide original margins.
