Generaale Kaart Van Het Beloofde Land, ...
|
A detailed and attractive map of the Holy Land with north oriented to the right of the page. The map includes a wealth of religious imagery - not least the original colour that is used to delineate the tribes of Israel (although here there appear to be thirteen rather than twelve!). Across the top of the map putti and garlands support the title cartouche displaying Elwe and Langeveld's name along with the date. At the bottom of the map, an inset of the encampment of the Tribes flanked on either side by Moses and Aaron surrounds the Tabernacle. This map appeared in Elwe/Langefeld atlases, but is based on Nicolaus Visscher's map of Palestine that was published in 1659 with modifications by De Wit. An agreeable map.
