Condition Good, on hand made paper with line watermarks, with signs of folds, small old paper repair top edge rear, minor edge loss top left not near printed map. A little bit of minor foxing, signs of being mounted top corners rear. So a historically important map of Arabia and some of the surrounding area. This is a good example of Tirion's highly detailed map, including the main Caravan routes roads. including those leading to Mekka, also curious mountain style ranges/boarders? and with what maybe over 100 names of towns/places, Cartouche with title top right and three distance scales bottom left. Includes a 1985 receipt in English, looks like from an Arab country. Isaak Tirion 1705-1765 was a well respected Dutch map publisher in the eighteenth century. To sum up, a much more detailed map than most maps of the area at this period and a historically important map of Arabia and some of the surrounding area, in reasonable original black/white condition, not later hand coloured like most.
