Circa 1691 Frederick de Wit Map: Middle East with Arabia, Persia & More This exquisite hand-colored map, circa 1691, by Frederick de Wit, illustrates the Middle East, spanning from Turkey and Egypt to Afghanistan, with a detailed representation of the Arabian Peninsula. The map's detailing in Arabia is based on Nicolas Sanson's influential 1654 map, which was one of the most accurate and detailed depictions of the region up to the mid-seventeenth century. The decorative title cartouche is richly adorned with images of exotic figures, animals, and a merchant ship, symbolizing the region's historical trade importance. Additionally, a mapmaker is shown working with traditional tools, adding a touch of authenticity to the cartographic art. This is the fourth state of the map, published between 1691 and 1696. The map measures 21.8 inches in width by 18.5 inches in height, featuring a sharp impression, with minimal staining and a carefully repaired centerfold separation at the bottom.

Great map of North America Original color. Good condition Published by Alexander Gross Unframed.  

Egypt & Lower Nubia – Elegant Antique Atlas Map of the Nile, ca.1888 This elegant antique atlas map presents Egypt and the Nile Valley in a refined, softly colored composition that feels timeless and architectural. The long vertical sweep of the Nile immediately draws the eye, flowing from the Mediterranean through Cairo and Upper Egypt toward Lower Nubia, framed by delicately engraved desert regions and subtle coastal shading along the Red Sea. Produced by Rand, McNally & Co. at the height of late-19th-century American atlas design, the map combines clarity with a restrained pastel palette that works exceptionally well in contemporary interiors. The balance between open desert spaces and the finely detailed river corridor gives the sheet a calm, almost meditative presence on the wall, making it particularly attractive for living rooms, studies, libraries, or hospitality settings. Cartographic details are crisp yet unobtrusive, allowing the overall composition to read as decorative rather than technical. The typography is elegant and evenly spaced, while the hand-colored regions add warmth without overpowering the design. When framed, the vertical format emphasizes the monumental scale of the Nile and creates a strong visual anchor in a room. A particularly appealing feature of this sheet is that the reverse side displays a decorative map of Africa, making it a versatile double-sided atlas leaf. This adds interest for collectors and interior designers alike, whether framed with visible margins, floated in a double-glazed frame, or appreciated as a historical object in a portfolio or drawer. Printed on original late-19th-century atlas paper, this map retains the authentic texture and presence expected of a period piece, offering both decorative impact and historical character without feeling heavy or academic. Condition report: Original atlas paper with light age toning consistent with period. Minor edge wear and gentle handling marks typical of bound atlas sheets. Overall well preserved with clean color and strong legibility. Framing tips: This map works beautifully in a light oak, walnut, or muted gold frame with an off-white or warm ivory mat. A tall vertical mat emphasizes the flow of the Nile and enhances the architectural feel. Museum glass is recommended to preserve the soft pastel tones. Technique: Color lithograph Maker: Rand, McNally & Co., United States, late 19th century Keywords: Egypt map, Nile map, Nile wall art, antique map of Egypt, decorative atlas map, Rand McNally map, antique Egypt wall art...
