About the Item
Antique map titled 'Egypten nach dem Zustand der alten Zeit vorgestellt'. This uncommon and richly detailed map of Egypt features hundreds of place names along the Nile. The Sinai Peninsula is shown with a strangely stub-like tip. An inset at right demonstrates the rudder system used in boats in the region.

Another ornate cartouche at bottom left includes the title and four distance scales. Engraved by Sebastian Dorn. Published circa 1746.

- Antique 18th Century Map of the Province of Pensilvania 'Pennsylvania State'Located in Philadelphia, PAA fine antique of the colony of Pennsylvania. Noted at the top of the sheet as a 'Map of the province of Pensilvania'. This undated and anonymous map is thought to be from the Gentleman's Magazine, London, circa 1775, although the general appearance could date it to the 1760's. The southern boundary reflects the Mason-Dixon survey (1768), the western boundary is placed just west of Pittsburgh, and the northern boundary is not marked. The map has a number of reference points that likely refer to companion text and appear to be connected to boundaries. The western and southern boundaries are marked Q, R, S, for example. A diagonal line runs from the Susquehanna R to the Lake Erie P. A broken line marked by many letters A, B, N, O, etc., appears in the east. There are no latitude or longitude markings, blank verso. Framed in a shaped contemporary gilt wooden frame and matted under a cream colored matte. Bearing an old Graham Arader Gallery...Category
