“Palaestina seu Terra a Mose et Iosua Occupata et inter Iudaeos Distributa per XII Tribus vulgo Sancta Adpellata.”

From Seutter’s Atlas Novus sive Tabulae Geographicae. Before establishing his workshop in Augsburg, Seutter (1767-1757) was trained by the engraver Johann Baptist Homann in Nuremberg. Many of Seutter’s maps are based on the earlier work of Homann as well as Delisles and de Fer. In this map, the Holy Land is divided into the regions of the Twelve Tribes, and set with a large elaborate title cartouche of Jonah exiting the mouth of the whale set in an exotic locale.
