Description
This rare, miniature map of Egypt shows the Nile River and Delta with the Red Sea and a portion of the Sinai. The German text below the map reads: "Egypt may be divided into: 1. Sahid or the upper land. 2. In Bechri or the middle land. 3. In Erif or the lower land. and 4. In the strip of land on the Red Sea. The main cities are Cairo, Alexandria, Rosetta, Damiata, and Suez." The map is probably from Johann Ulrich Müller's "Kurtzbündige Abbild und Vorstellung der Gantzen Welt..." (Ulm, 1692). There is a decorative motif of bird and fruit below the text. Single-page, single-sided map with faint yellow outline around Egypt. Uncolored. [Gift of Dr. Jack Franke]
