This graphic map of Israel is filled with Biblical scenes. A compass rose orients the map with northeast in the top right corner. The sea is filled with ships, and the route of St. Paul to Rome is shown. A pair of cartouches are supported by cherubs. The large decorative title cartouche at bottom is surrounded by a dramatic scene of the resurrected Christ ascending to Heaven while Roman soldiers draw back in fright. The four evangelists flank vignettes depicting the life of Christ, including his birth and crucifixion. This is the first state, without an engraver's imprint. Dutch text on verso.
