A very decorative and unusual presentation of a reduced version of Michelet's map showing Cyprus, Egypt and the Levantine coast and hinterland oriented with north to the top right corner. This detailed map with its Biblical themes has a distinctly unusual style of presentation for the mountainous and forested regions, its many vignettes of settlements, people and events, animals and so on. A figured titlepiece occupies the upper left corner and bright original colour remains fresh. Repairs to minor marginal tears but a very acceptable example.
