(ISRAEL, LAND OF)

Germany? End 19th Century

Multicolor print within massive wooden frame

This somewhat fanciful map, beautifully portrayed in multicolor, makes a point of providing not only the ancient cites of Biblical and Talmudic fame, but also the many agricultural settlements that blossomed throughout the Land at the end of the nineteenth century. Thus, the map clearly projects the goal of Zionism, namely the settling of Eretz Israel. Rare. Unknown to E. & G. Wajntraub, Hebrew Maps of the Holy Land (1992)
