Hebrew map oriented to the east, showing the journeys and settlements of the Land of Israel according to the interpretation of Rash’i, with Biblical division of the Twelve Tribes on both sides of the Jordan River. “A very picturesque map…[although] it is a curiosity that the Desert is decorated with many trees!” E. & G. Wajntraub, Hebrew Maps of the Holy Land (1992) pp. 186-8. This map is based on that of Aaron ben Chaim, Grodno, 1836, published by Meir Isaac Boiarsky in Warsaw, 1880. (Lithography by A. Bomberg).
