Description: This rare hand-colored map is a copper-plate lithographic engraving, dating to 1843 by the respected German cartographer Conrad Malte-Brun. It represents ancient Egypt and includes parts of the Arabian peninsula and Palestine. This fine map is vividly hand-colored in outline form. Political boundaries as well as major rivers, territories, and counties are carefully labeled. Also included are major roads and trade routes. Further, all notable mountains, swamps, passes, and important trading centers are labeled. All text is in French. Each page exhibits its original press mark. Map is in FINE condition without age toning, tears, discolorations or any other flaws. This stunning map is a copper plate lithograph which has been hand colored in wonderfully intense reds, greens, blues and yellows. The maps are based upon Malte-Bruns late 18th century cartographic studies and were published in Paris as the Geographie Universal. This particular edition was revised and updated by French engraver J. J. N. Huot to the standards of 1843. The work of Malte-Brun was long known for its minimalist simplicity and rare accuracy.
