"Palaestinae sive Totius Terrae Promissionis Nova Descriptio Auctore Tilemanno Stella Sigenensi", Ortelius, Abraham

This attractive map of Palestine covers the area from the Red Sea north to Sidon. The map shows mountains in profile, rivers and locates many towns and villages. The map is decorated by two large cartouches, three sailing ships and four different distance scales. The map was drawn by German cartographer Tilemann Stella in 1552 and published in the Parergon. This example was included in the English edition of Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, published in 1606, with English text on verso.

A nice impression in full original color on watermarked paper with light toning along the centerfold, and a few tiny wormholes that are only visible when held up to light. There is a short centerfold separation in the bottom blank margin.
