"Geographische Beschryvinge van het Ioodtsche Landt, Doorwandelt van Onsen Heere ende Salichmaecker Iesu Christo Nessens Syne Apostelen", Visscher, Claes Janszoon

This scarce map is a reduced version of Visscher's map of the Holy Land. North is oriented to the lower left with a lovely compass rose that is incorporated into the distance scale cartouche. The map is filled with graphic topography and beautifully embellished with a vignette of the crucifixion. Several ships and boats fill the sea; the origin and route of St. Paul toward Rome is traced. This is the third state with Visscher's name removed from the cartouche.

A nice impression with attractive color and a bit of printer's ink residue in title cartouche.
