Description
This richly detailed bird’s eye view presents an almost tactile representation of the topography of the Holy Land. Scores of small villages, Biblical landmarks, and ancient cities are numbered throughout and labeled in the accompanying table, along with primary geographic features (rivers and mountains). Off the coast, a sidewheel steamer flies the Turkish flag, reflecting local Ottoman authority over the region.
The view, reduced from A.J. Mark’s larger chromolithograph, was engraved by George Cram and published in the 1887 edition of Gaskell’s New and Complete Family Atlas of the World.
