Palestine / Israel: Dutch map depicting 'the Holy Land' of Palestine and Israel, originally by Nicolaes Visscher I (1618-1679) and re-engraved by Daniel Stoopendaal (1672-1726), 1702

Nicolaes Visscher I (1618-1679) was a Dutch cartographer, engraver and publisher, the son of famed Dutch Golden Age draughtsman Claes Janszoon Visscher. He produced various double hemisphere maps, often working alongside his son, Nicolaes Visscher II, who continued the family tradition after his death.

Daniel Stoopendaal (1672-1726) was a Dutch engraver and mapmaker based out of Amsterdam. His well known works include garden and landscape prints, as well as re-engravings of Nicolaes Visscher's maps of the Holy Land, for inclusion in the Keur Bible.
