Lovely, large map of the Holy Land showing the Tribes of Israel. Inset with a large map of the region showing the Exodus and the wanderings of the Children of Israel from Egypt titled Carte de la Terre de Canaan ou Terre Promise… The map is filled with fine detail and ornamented with two elaborate cartouches; the main title cartouche is decorated with an altar, the Ark of the Covenant, and the tablets of the Ten Commandments.
