Antique map titled 'Egypten nach dem Zustand der alten Zeit vorgestellt'. This uncommon and richly detailed map of Egypt features hundreds of place names along the Nile. The Sinai Peninsula is shown with a strangely stub-like tip. An inset at right demonstrates the rudder system used in boats in the region. A decorative cartouche at bottom contains a key that translates Arabic geographical terms into Latin and explains the symbols used on the map. Another ornate cartouche at bottom left includes the title and four distance scales. Engraved by Sebastian Dorn. Published circa 1746.
