    Focusing on the Arabian peninsula and the Holy Land, this large engraving spans from Tripoli, North Africa and southern Europe to coastal Persia. Reaching from southern Russia (here “Moscovie”), south to the east African coast. While it covers a large swath of Europe and Asia, it still includes good detail for towns and placenames. The handcolor outlines the different regions held by the Ottoman Empire at the time, which spanned coastal Africa, the Middle East and up into southern Europe. A large title cartouche includes the face of a Sultan at the bottom and the profiles of two women on the sides.
