Beautiful and detailed map, with handsome cartouche at top centre, flanked by garlands and cherubs. 15 sailing ships at sea. At lower centre there is an illustration of a fortified tented tabernacle, framed with gold treasures, flanked by two priests burning incense. Three scales at lower right, north is to the right.
Good condition. The top left hand corner has a 3cm diagonal cut, some loss to margin, but not affecting map
