Description
English: A beautiful example of A. J. Johnson’s 1862 map of Palestine / Israel / Holy Land. Details the region from Beirut south to Busaireh and Kadesh Barnea.

Also shows numerous roadways and caravan routes throughout the region. An inset in the lower left hand quadrant details the Jerusalem with 10 important churches, biblical sites, and mosques noted. An engraved view of Damascus decorates the upper left quadrant. Features the strapwork style border common to Johnson’s atlas work from 1860 to 1863. Published by A. J. Johnson and Ward as plate number 88 in the 1862 edition of Johnson’s New Illustrated Family Atlas .
