This copper engraved map covers the region from Turkey through the Caucasus, from Israel to Iraq, and includes the Nile delta. It is filled with detail of cities and tiny villages and presents a fine view of the topography. Numerous roads and caravan routes are noted. Very minor offsetting of title, but still very fine condition.
