19th-century Palestine map
When Indiana Jones went searching for the Lost Ark, he could have used a map like this. Printed in the 1860s by 19th-century map mogul A.J. Johnson (of Johnson's New Illustrated Family Atlas fame) and depicting the Holy Land as seen nearly 150 years ago. Old World craftsmanship (like hand coloring, crisp engraved lines and lithographed border scrollwork) provides a rare glimpse of the history of this beautiful and tumultuous land. Detailed information on settlements, roads, bodies of water, latitude and longitude, in English – a walk through time for collectors, history buffs, teachers and cartography aficionados. "Very Good" condition. Available in unframed (16"x14") or expertly matted and custom-framed (25"x22").
