Background Information:
The map first appeared in Histoire du Vieux et du Nouveau Testament, a compilation of biblical maps and narratives published by Covens & Mortier. The firm, founded in Amsterdam in 1721, was one of the largest Dutch publishing houses of the 18th century. They specialized in republishing and updating the works of earlier cartographers, including De L'Isle, Allard, and Jansson.
Pieter Mortier, the founder of the Mortier publishing empire, was a renowned mapmaker who combined French cartographic influences with Dutch engraving traditions. His works often featured detailed engravings and were widely respected for their artistic and geographical accuracy.
Condition:
The map is in good condition for its age, with vibrant hand-coloring and minimal signs of wear. The paper shows light age-toning around the edges, typical of 18th-century prints. The engraving and decorative elements are sharp and well-preserved.

Circa 1686 Daniel Stoopendaal Map: Biblical Sites from Paradise to Canaan
This circa 1686 hand-colored map by Daniel Stoopendaal, titled "De Gelegentheyt van 't Paradys en 't Landt Canaan," beautifully illustrates the Middle East, extending from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf.
The map features numerous Biblical locations, such as the Garden of Eden, the wanderings of the Children of Israel, and the story of Jonas and the whale.
It is adorned with elaborate decorations, including a banner-style title cartouche and four corner vignettes depicting scenes from Genesis: Paradise, the creation of Adam and Eve, Eve offering the apple, and their expulsion from Eden.
The bottom center showcases a dramatic portrayal of Noah's Ark. Measuring 18.3 inches wide by 11.9 inches high, this first state map includes Dutch text on the reverse and is in good condition, with a crisp impression, light toning along the centerfold, and a small chip in the bottom margin.
