This superior reproduction on linen paper of the original antique hand colored copperplate engraved map of 

“Terra Sancta” was originally  published by the famed mapmaker Abraham Ortelius about 1584. This print was given 

as a "token of friendship" by the Israeli Ministry of Tourism in 1983.

The map details regions of the 12 tribes. It includes a decorative cartouche in the upper right that depicts 

three images from the life of Christ. 

Unlike modern maps, this map orients north on the left of the map and must be rotated clockwise to “correct” 

the orientation.
