Description
This colorful map of the historic territory of Palestine serves as a convenient reference when studying the life of Jesus Christ. Known and conjectural locations mentioned in the New Testament, plus other places of interest, are labeled according to the convention described in the lower left. An accompanying index provides the corresponding distances and directions towards Jerusalem. A somewhat muddled inset of the Holy City can be seen in the upper left.
The sheet was published in the early 1900s by A.H. Eilers & Co. as Map No. 1 in the Peerless Series of Sunday School Maps. The company was originally established in St. Louis during the early 1870s as a bookseller and stationer, but soon transitioned to the production of material related to Sunday School education in the United States. Eilers produced a number of religiously themed materials, including collection envelopes, marriage certificates, ledgers, and wall maps in a variety of custom sizes and formats.
