"Ierusalem", Stoopendaal, Bastiaan

Beautiful and fully engraved bird's-eye plan of the holy city flanked by engravings of religious icons, Solomon and a high priest. This map is designed after Villapando's imaginary city plan, and it was published within a Dutch Bible. At the top is a large and ornate elevation of the Temple of Solomon. The map is a reduced version of Bastiaan Stoopendaal's earlier map of Jerusalem with the bottom vignettes removed. Dutch text on verso.
