Description
Detailed late 17th Century map of Syria published in Amsterdam.
The map extends from Damascus and Sidon in the south, to Edessa, Alexandretta, and Antioch in the north as well as to Aleppo, Palmyrena, Damant, etc.
The map also extends from the Mediterranean to the Euphrates.
Originally engraved by Jan Jansson, the copperplate was later acquired by Valk & Schenk.
The Valk & Schenk edition is by far the more scarce edition of the map.
