This is a Dutch version, engraved by J. van Schley, of Bellin's map of Arabia and the Red Sea. The emphasis is the coastlines and the interior is primarily left blank. The shoals and navigational hazards in the Red Sea and the pearl banks off the coast of Bahrain are also noted. The Persian Gulf is depicted too wide and too far north. This map is more elaborately decorated with a flourishing title cartouche and a compass rose. The Dutch title is in the bottom margin: Kaart van de Kust van Arabie, de Roode-Zee en de Golf van Persie.
