About the Item

Palestine Holy Land Map with Jerusalem Insets – Nieuwe Hand-Atlas, 1876 This detailed 19th-century map titled “Palestina” offers a comprehensive cartographic portrait of the Holy Land as it was understood in scholarly and biblical geography during the late 1800s. Published in 1876 in the *Nieuwe Hand-Atlas der Aarde in haren Tegenwoordigen Toestand* by M. Frijlink, revised by A. van Otterloo, and printed by D. Noothoven van Goor in Leiden, the map combines historical, biblical, and topographical information with meticulous Dutch engraving. The main map extends from Lebanon in the north to the Sinai Peninsula in the south, and from the Mediterranean coast across the Jordan Valley into the mountainous regions of Judea, Samaria, Galilee, and Transjordan. Cities and towns of both historical and biblical significance—Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Nazareth, Jericho, Hebron, Safed, Tiberias, Jaffa, Gaza, Tyre, Sidon, and Beersheba—are clearly labeled. Rivers, mountains, deserts, caravan routes, and administrative divisions are finely engraved, giving the entire region exceptional clarity. What makes this map particularly rich are its numerous inset maps: • **Jerusalem and surroundings** — A close view of the city’s topography and ancient sites. • **Present-day Jerusalem** — Showing city walls, religious landmarks, and 19th-century expansions. • **Route of the Israelites from Egypt** — A historical-biblical route depiction extending across the Sinai. • **Holy Land in biblical times** — A broader contextual map covering the Eastern Mediterranean. • **Sinai and the Red Sea** — Depicting the presumed areas of the Exodus. • **Wider Middle East** — Highlighting trade routes, ancient kingdoms, and scriptural geography. The combination of biblical references with modern 19th-century geography reflects how cartographers of the era sought to unify contemporary scholarship with religious tradition. This plate is therefore equally appealing to collectors of historical cartography, Judaica, Christian history, and Eastern Mediterranean studies. Engraved with precision and softened by hand-colored boundary lines, the map has a balanced and elegant composition that exemplifies Dutch atlas production during the period. Condition Report: Good condition for age. Light toning and small foxing around the margins. Original center fold as issued. Clean impression with well-preserved engraving detail. No tears, repairs, or losses. Framing Tips: A soft ivory mat enhances the fine linework, while a walnut, dark oak, or understated black frame gives the map a refined presence. Because of the multiple inset maps, a slightly wider mat margin creates visual balance. Beautiful for libraries, study rooms, or interiors focused on biblical history or Middle Eastern cartography.

Map of Palestine or Judea, Illustrating the History of the New Testament
By Rev. Nathan B. Rogers
Located in New York, NY
Pen and ink on paper, laid down on canvas, mounted to wooden scroll bars Signed and dated lower right: “Drawn by N. B. Rogers August. 1843” Inscribed with an ownership inscription on the verso: Rev. E. D. Daniels, Palmer, Mass. Provenance: Rev. Eugene Davidson Daniels, Palmer, Massachusetts, 1871 This extraordinary manuscript map is a rare survivor of the devotional and educational culture of New England in the first half of the nineteenth century. Although at first glance resembling a large-scale engraving or printed publication, this precisely rendered wall map was entirely drawn by hand, the product of meticulous research by a minister working in isolation in rural Maine. The map shows New Testament era cities, towns, tribal areas, and political borders as well as physical features such as rivers, lakes, mountains, and hills (indicated by half-tone cross-hatching). On to this geographically accurate rendering of the Holy Land, Rogers has located and inscribed significant locales mentioned in the Gospels and has annotated these places with relevant citations from the Bible. He further records these by plotting the travels of Jesus on what resemble a series of trails across the Holy Land. Each is distinguished by a different pattern of dots and dashes – correlated to an explanatory table at the lower right. From this we know that these lines document the “Flight into Egypt and return,” “Travels of Christ from Nazareth to Jerusalem and return,” “Travels from the commencement of his Ministry to the first Passover,” “Travels from the first and the second Passover,” “Travels from Jerusalem to Galilee after the 2nd Passover,” and “Travels from the third Passover to the Crucifixion.” An inset map of “Jerusalem...
