Beautiful, large map of the Holy Land filled with great detail. North is oriented to the top right corner of the map, which is spanned by a large title cartouche draped in a garland held aloft by six cherubs. The Mediterranean is filled with various types of sailing ships and fishing boats, including a depiction of Jonah and the whale. At bottom center is a plan of the desert camp of the Israelites flanked by Moses with the Golden Altar on the left and Aaron with the Golden Table on the right.
