About the Item
This is an early 19th century map of ancient Syria and Egypt entitled "Carte de la Syrie et de l'Egypte anciennes/dressée par M. Lapie, Colonel d'Etat Major, et M. Lapie fils, Captaine au méme Corps" by Pierre M. Lapie and his son Alexander Emile Lapie, published in 1833 in Paris in their atlas 'Atlas universel de geographie ancienne et moderne, precede d'un abrege de geographie physique et historique'. The map was engraved by Armand Joseph Lellemand (1810-1871). The map depicts the Holy Land and Egypt as it existed at the time Egypt was ruled by Cleopatra. The map is centered on Egypt, Syria and Cyprus and covers the coastline of the Eastern Mediterranean in the north and the northern coast of the Red Sea in the south, including Ethiopia, Asia Minor and Mesopotoamia.
The map is hand-colored in outline. It is presented in a brown wood frame. The frame measures 27" x 21.38" x 0.75". There are areas of discoloration in the sheet margins, most prominently on the right. The map itself is in very good condition.
Pierre M. Lapie (fl. 1779 - 1850) and his son Alexandre Emile Lapie (fl. 1809 - 1850) were French cartographers and engravers as well as officers in the French army. Alexander carried the title of "First Geographer to the King".

- Frankfort, Germany: A 16th Century Hand-colored Map by Braun & HogenbergBy Franz HogenbergLocated in Alamo, CAThis is a 16th century original hand-colored copperplate engraved map of Frankfort, Germany entitled "Francenbergum, vel ut alij Francoburgum Hassiae Opp" by Georg Braun & Franz Hogenberg, from their famous city atlas "Civitates Orbis Terrarum", published in Cologne, Germany in 1595. This is an English translation of an excerpt from the original text in the atlas: "Frankenberg or, according to others, Francoburgum, a town in Hesse. Charlemagne vested the town of Frankenberg with many freedoms and privileges, which it still enjoys to this day, and on account of its valiant and victorious soldiers awarded a signet, upon which there formerly appeared a golden castle with a tower, together with the letter F and a golden crown. Frankenberg, seen here from the northeast, lies on a hill above the River Eder. The hillside is covered with fields neatly separated by bushes and fences. Soaring above the town is the massive Liebfrauenkirche, which was modelled on St Elizabeth's church in Marburg. The New Town was founded in 1335 at the foot of the hill (right) and merged with the Old Town as late as 1556. Frankenberg was founded by Conrad of Thuringia in 1233/34 to prevent the archbishops of Mainz from expanding their sphere of influence...Category
