The Antient City of Jerusalem and Places Adjacent, Hand-Colored Map, 1699

About the Item

Title: "1699 Hand-Colored Bird's-Eye Plan of Jerusalem with Ancient and Biblical Landmarks" This beautifully hand-colored, imaginary bird's-eye plan of Jerusalem, published in 1699, offers a detailed and artistic representation of the ancient city, oriented to the north. The map intricately depicts numerous buildings in three-dimensional form, including the imposing Temple of Solomon, the Upper and Lower Cities, and prominent biblical sites. Calvary is notably shown outside the city walls, emphasizing the map's focus on religious and historical significance. Surrounding areas, such as the Mount of Olives, Bethphage, and Gethsemane, are labeled, enriching the map's depiction of Jerusalem's biblical geography. A decorative cartouche adorns the upper corner, adding to its aesthetic and historical value. Measuring 14.7 x 10.7 inches (37.3 x 27.2 cm), this map is both an artistic and educational piece, reflecting the fascination with the Holy Land during the late 17th century. Its vibrant hand coloring enhances its appeal, making it an exceptional addition to collections of historical maps, biblical artifacts, or religious studies.
