summary

The Promised Land divided among the Twelve Tribes according to the Book of Joshua. From De La Rue’s La Terre Saint en Six Cartes Geographiques, first published in Paris by Pierre Mariette in 1651. Depicts the Holy Land on both sides of the Jordan, the shoreline running from Sidon as far as Rhinocolura (Hebrew: Yatnan). The present map’s cartouche differs from the 1651 edition which features a central mask.

20.25 x 28 inches.
