About the Item
Title: Antique Map of Palestine or The Holy Land, 1903, with Biblical and Geographical Details
Description:
This antique map, titled "Palestine or The Holy Land," was engraved and published in 1903 by W. & A.K. Johnston in Edinburgh and London. It offers a detailed and meticulously rendered depiction of the region known for its profound historical and spiritual significance to the three major Abrahamic religions.
The map shows the territories along the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, extending from the ancient city of Sidon in the north to the Sinai Peninsula in the south. It is hand-colored in soft pastel shades to delineate boundaries and key landmarks, including major biblical sites, ancient cities, rivers, and mountain ranges. The Jordan River and Dead Sea are prominently featured, along with Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth, and other key locations that have shaped the historical narrative of the Holy Land.
Beyond its spiritual importance, this map also captures the geography and infrastructure of the early 20th century, reflecting the region’s position as a crossroads for trade, pilgrimage, and empire. The fine engraving and delicate typography reflect the cartographic precision and artistry of Johnston’s team.
For collectors, historians, and those interested in the rich tapestry of Middle Eastern history, this map is a rare and evocative piece. It not only illustrates the geography of an ancient land but also evokes the timeless cultural and spiritual resonance that has defined Palestine for millennia.
