AEGYPTUS Antiqua

Egypt fairly fancifully represented. Decorative cartouche. Various biblical scenes on map. Arms of Henrico Nevile at lower left. “From the seventeenth century onwards various works were issued which dealt with the ancient world, such works were very popular. Perhaps the one with the most quaint and decorative series of maps is that in Thomas Fuller’s Pisgah’s Sight of Palestine” (Tooley: Maps and Mapmakers, p. 104)
