This boldly engraved map of the Holy Land extends to include Cyprus. The map is filled with rivers, forests, and mountainous topography, with relatively few place names. The decorative cartouche is in the form of a rock with three crosses atop, and also features two men carrying a giant bunch of grapes. Dated 1699 but published in 1703.
