Dramatic and very uncommon six-sheet map of the Holy Land showing the division into the twelve tribes of Israel. The map is beautifully engraved to show topographical features, major roads, towns and villages. Also included are dozens of biblical illustrations. Thematically, the emphasis is on the Old Testament, with inset maps in the top corners depicting Abraham's journey and the wandering of the Israelites through the desert.

Sheets professionally joined with exquisite later color. A bit of very faint toning and a little creasing, still overall very good. Remnants of linen hinges on verso.
