Pub Note:
|
"Rare separately published view of the Holy Land, published in Chicago by the Holy Land Publishing Company, with A. J. Marks noted as the copyright holder. The view includes approximately 300 points of interest and is the protype for George Cram's view of the Holy Land, which began appearing in his atlases in the early 1880s on a much reduced scale. We find a single reference to the original production of the map by the Holy Land Publishing Company in the 1878 January issue of The National Sunday School Teacher, noting that the view had been revised after receiving critiques and was now "as accurate as could be desired." Price: $2.00. The view is extremely rare. We locate a single example in the Library of Congress. We note a single example offered in 2005 in AMPR (this copy) Provenance: Leonard and Juliet Rothman Collection." (Ruderman, 2022)
