Est: $400 - $600
PRICE REALIZED $700
A handsome map, depicting the boundaries of the tribes and the Israelites’ wanderings through the desert. The Visscher fisherman trademark is located on the bottom right of the map, above a depiction of the Israelite encampment. Often, unknowing printers copied entire plates including the fisherman, revealing to all the true source of ‘their’ map. To the far left of the map is an illustration of an ancient Shekel coin and in the bottom center, the High Priest offers Ketoreth beside Temple vessels.
