"Afbeelding van 't Joodsche Land toen het aan de Heerschappy der Romeinen Onderworpen...", Bachiene, Willem Albert

This attractive map shows the land of Israel with all the places, rivers, mountains, and seas mentioned in the Holy Scriptures. It covers all of Palestine on both sides of the Jordan River and the Mediterranean coastline from Tyrus (Sur) to Rhinocolura (El Arish). At bottom is a vignette of Jesus on the cross. The decorative title cartouche features a river god and a woman chained to a tree being guarded by a Roman soldier. Engraved by Jan van Jagen. From a Dutch bible published by Nicolas Goetzee.
