Seaton's Map of Palestine or the holy Land with part of Egypt. Compiled from surveys made for the French & English Governments […] Engraved on Steel by Josiah Neele. Printer not indicated. [London, 1830s-1840s?].
A large map of Palestine, from surveys made for the French and English governments – engraving, partially hand-colored, by British artist Josiah Neele (1804-1876). This biblical map depicts Palestine from the Litani River in the north to the Sinai Peninsula and Lower Egypt in the south. The small insets detail Jerusalem and the Temple; an illustration depicts Jesus and the Samaritan women by the well. The map is framed by the symbols of the Twelve Tribes of Israel.
There are several slightly different versions of this map, the earliest of them is from 1828 (without the symbols of the twelve tribes). See Laor 712.
