Description

Rare 1833 edition of a historical map of Palestine, with a part of Egypt and Arabia.

Occasional browning; slipcase rubbed and bumped, but well preserved on the whole. - Cf. Röhricht (Palästina) 633 (London, 1831). Laor, Maps of the Holy Land (1839 edition). Not in Al Ankary or Al-Qasimi.
