"Terra Sancta sive Promissionis, olim Palestina recens delineata…", Wit, Frederick de

Beautiful, large map of the Holy Land filled with great detail. West is oriented to the top of the map, which is spanned by a large title cartouche draped in a garland held aloft by six cherubs. The Mediterranean is filled with various types of sailing ships and fishing boats, including a depiction of Jonah and the whale. At bottom center is a plan of the desert camp of the Israelites flanked by Moses with the Golden Altar on the left and Aaron with the Golden Table on the right.
