Large color wall map of Palestine. Along the margins appear smaller maps of Jerusalem and the estates of the Twelve Tribes and a topographic profile of various sites in Palestine, showing their height above sea level. The map is cloth-backed, folded and placed in an original cardboard portfolio.

The map is not recorded in OCLC and the Eran Laor Cartographic Collection.
