Antique Map of Yam Suph by Shaw (1773)

Description: Antique print with two maps titled 'Uittreksel van de Kaart van Egipten en de Roode Zee' and 'Uittreksel uit de Kaart van Chrysanthus'. The left image shows Yam Suph, the body of water which the Israelites crossed following their exodus from Egypt. The right image shows a mountain range near the Red Sea. Originates from the first Dutch editon of an interesting travel account of Northern Africa titled 'Reizen en Aanmerkingen door en over Barbaryen en het Ooste'.
