Very handsome map of the Holy Land during the reign of King Solomon, showing the provinces of the Twelve Tribes. Solomon reigned over a large region that included Damascus in the north and the entire area east of the Jordan. The Mediterranean coastline is depicted from Sidon to Sirbon Lacus. Haifa Bay is enlarged and there is an imaginary bay south of Jaffa. The map is adorned with a lovely drape and ribbon-style cartouche.

A sharp impression with contemporary outline color in the map and later color in the cartouche, on a sheet with a large coat of arms watermark. There is light toning along the centerfold and two archivally repaired holes near centerfold at bottom, one in an unengraved area of the map and the other in the blank margin.
