Kaart van het Heilige Land, rechterdeel after 1632

This detailed map of the Holy Land, "Kaart van het Heilige Land, rechterdeel", was created by Cornelis Galle I, a prominent engraver, after 1632. The map, part of a larger series, showcases the region with meticulous detail, including cities, mountains, and rivers. Galle's engraving technique, characteristic of the Dutch Golden Age, emphasizes clarity and accuracy. The map is a testament to the burgeoning interest in cartography and exploration during the 17th century.
