Hand-coloured engraved map (355 x 263 mm).

Bemerkung:

Gorgeous full color example of Tallis's map of Arabia. Includes decorative vignettes showing Mount Sinai, Arabs, Camel and Arab Women. Engraved for R. Montgomery Martin's Illustrated Atlas. Tallis was one of the last great decorative map makers. His maps are prized for the wonderful vignettes of indigenous scenes, people, etc. - Al-Qasimi 261. Not in Tibbets and Al Ankary.
