Description
A plan of Jerusalem presented as a bird's-eye view, with buildings shown in pserpective, with an extensive key on a banner held aloft by an eagle. Underneath are scenes of the Crucifixion and Soloman being annointed king.
When first published in the 'Sacred Geographie, or Scriptual Mapps', in 1671, the map was dedicated to John Wilkins, Bishop of Chester; this example has the dedication changed to John Sharp, who was Archbishop of York between 1691 and 1714.
