France - Syria; M.Rollin - Carta della Siria - 1721-1750

Geographic map of Syria taken from ‘The Roman History of M. Rollin’. Copper engraving on laid paper with a central fold as in the book. It is a historical map, not a modern geographic one; it was used to follow the campaigns of the Romans against Antiochus, so it uses the toponyms of Strabo and Ptolemy. Included in the lot is a beautiful period-colored engraving from the 19th century depicting a Syrian bishop.
