From Janssonius, Jan. Novus Atlas (Amsterdam, 1658),Vol. VI. Six sheets. Contemporary hand-coloring in sharp, distinct hues.

This exceptionally large, impressive map of the Holy Land orients to the east, showing the divisions of the Twelve Tribes of Israel on both sides of the River Jordan. The coastline runs from Sidon, Lebanon at left, to Rhinocorura, Egypt at right. Offshore, not far from the port of Jaffa, one spies a ship holding Jonah about to be cast into the jaws of the whale. There are two cartouches: The one at top left contains the Wanderings of Abraham ("Peregrinatio Abrahae"); the other at top right, the Journies and Mansions of the Desert ("Itinera et Mansiones Deserti"), i.e. the wanderings of the Israelites in the Sinai Wilderness.
