Beautiful, large map of the Holy Land filled with great detail. West is oriented to the top of the map, which is spanned by a large title cartouche draped in a garland held aloft by six cherubs. The Mediterranean is filled with various types of sailing ships, including a depiction of Jonah and the whale. At bottom center is an engraving of the Tabernacle surrounded by the twelve tribes. Lovely original color. Old repair on bottom centerfold.
