A Large Wall Map of Palestine – Published by the Geographic Institute of Weimar – Early 20th Century
Wand Karte von Palaestina - gezeichnet und dem Sophienstift in Weimar gewidmet von C. Hergt [Wall Map of Palestine, Drawn and Dedicated to Sophienstift in Weimar by C. Hergt]. Weimar: Weimar Geographisches Institut, [1902?]. German.
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.
Possibly, the map was made for the Sophienstift School for girls in Weimar (a school for girls named after Princess Sophie of the Netherlands).
101.5X137 cm (eight separate parts), cloth-backed and folded. Suspension loops attached to all four corners. In an original portfolio (52.5X37 cm). Good condition. Stains. Minor blemishes. The portfolio has four laces for tying, of which one is torn.
The map is not recorded in OCLC and the Eran Laor Cartographic Collection.
