Additional Details



This is a nice dark impression of a map printed many times in the first half of the 18th century by Homann and his heirs. The cartouche contains an image of Moses receiving the Ten Commandments; a small inset map in the lower right corner shows the route of the wanderings in the desert following the Exodus.<
