This lovely little map of Arabia is divided into regions based on Delisle's map, including Tahama in the southwest, Yemen in the Southeast, Bahrain along the east coast, and the States of the Cherif of Mecca. The Red Sea is shown a bit too wide, but overall the shape of Arabia is relatively accurate.

Condition: A

A nice impression on a watermarked sheet with light toning along the edges.
