Graphic map of Israel filled with biblical scenes. A compass rose orients the map with north in the top right corner. The large decorative title cartouche at bottom is flanked with the four evangelists and vignettes depicting the life of Christ, including his birth, crucifixion and a triumphant Resurrection -- bursting from the tomb and scattering Roman solders. This is the second state with D. Stoopendaal's imprint and number 2 at bottom right. Dutch text on verso.

A nice example with wide original margins. There is a faint trace of offsetting and some light toning on the centerfold.
