"Karte von dem Groessten Theil des Landes Jemen Imame, Kaukeban & &...", Schraembl, Franz Anton

This detailed map of Yemen is based on the observations of Danish explorer Carsten Niebuhr and depicts the region along the eastern shore of the Red Sea to just above Jazan, Arabia. Numerous towns, cities, and wadis are shown interlaced in dense hachuring to convey topography. The Red Sea is filled with rhumb lines and fleur-de-lises. At lower left is an index providing latitude and longitude for major cities. The map is decorated by an elaborate title cartouche with three distance scales.
