A detailed bird's-eye view of ancient Jerusalem showing numerous buildings, roads, figures, and major biblical events, each labeled with a corresponding passage from the Bible. The tracks of Jesus around Jerusalem are delineated and accompanied by notations such as "Christ condemned as an enemy to Caesar, is delievered to the souldiers, and led this way to be crucified." The third sheet contains a partial banner title that reads "The City of Jerusalem. Published by Rob: Greene" and was engraved by Francis Lamb in 1682. This example is a 19th century reissue of Greene's map of Canaan from 1682.
