Step into the sacred geography of antiquity with "A New Map of the Land of Promise And the Holy City of Jerusalem," a masterwork of cartographic artistry and biblical storytelling, engraved by D. Haines in 1828. This rare American wall map, with only a handful of known institutional examples, offers a sweeping bird’s-eye perspective of the Holy Land, extending from the storied banks of the Nile and the Red Sea to the ancient cities of Damascus and Sidon. At its heart lies Jerusalem, meticulously rendered and celebrated as the spiritual epicenter of the Abrahamic faiths. The map’s design is not merely geographical—it is a visual tapestry, interweaving sacred history with the landscape itself.
What sets this map apart is its richly illustrated narrative, bringing to life the most pivotal events of the Old and New Testaments. Hundreds of tiny vignettes, each carefully engraved, depict moments such as the Exodus, the crossing of the Red Sea, and Moses receiving the Ten Commandments atop Mount Sinai. These scenes are not mere decoration; they are historical waypoints, inviting the viewer to trace the journeys, struggles, and triumphs of biblical figures across the terrain. The map’s pictorial approach transforms it into a unique artifact—both a work of art and a didactic tool for understanding the ancient world.
The map’s cartographic lineage is equally remarkable. Its format and visual language are directly inspired by the 17th-century Dutch and English traditions, notably van Doetechum’s 1641 prototype and Claes Jansz Visscher’s celebrated plan of Jerusalem. Haines’s edition represents the culmination of nearly two centuries of European and American mapmaking, reinterpreted for a new audience in early 19th-century Philadelphia. This blend of Old World craftsmanship and New World ambition is evident in every detail, from the ornate inset views of Solomon’s Temple to the panoramic “Prospect of Jerusalem” that crowns the composition.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the map is a remarkable historical document, capturing a moment when biblical scholarship, religious devotion, and the art of engraving converged in American print culture. Its rarity—attested by the few surviving examples—speaks to its value as both a collector’s item and a testament to the enduring fascination with the Holy Land. For historians, collectors, and connoisseurs of cartography, this map offers an unparalleled window into the ways in which faith, history, and geography have been intertwined across centuries.
The map’s coverage is impressively comprehensive, encompassing iconic locations such as Bethlehem, Jericho, Hebron, Nazareth, and the Sea of Galilee, as well as the vast expanses of Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula. Key biblical routes and encampments are charted with precision, while towns, fortresses, and landmarks are rendered in evocative bird’s-eye perspective. Each element invites exploration, whether you are retracing the footsteps of ancient prophets or simply admiring the artistry of a bygone era. This map is not only a visual feast but also a profound historical artifact—an invitation to journey through the Land of Promise as it was imagined by the cartographers and believers of the past.

This map is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The map is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present a map without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas maps and explore the differences between my different finishes.
For something truly unique, this map is also available in "Unique 3D", our trademarked process that dramatically transforms the map so that it has a wonderful sense of depth. We combine the original map with detailed topography and elevation data, so that mountains and the terrain really "pop". For more info and examples of 3D maps, check my Unique 3D page.
Para la mayoría de los pedidos, el tiempo de entrega es de aproximadamente 3 días laborables. Los productos personalizados y a medida tardan más, ya que tengo que hacer la personalización y enviártelo para su aprobación, lo cual suele tardar 1 o 2 días.
Tenga en cuenta que los pedidos enmarcados muy grandes suelen tardar más en fabricarse y entregarse.
Si necesitas que tu pedido llegue para una fecha determinada, por favor contáctame antes de hacer el pedido para que podamos encontrar la mejor manera de asegurarnos de que recibas tu pedido a tiempo.

Mi marco estándar es un marco de madera de fresno negro estilo galería. Es simple y tiene un aspecto bastante moderno. Mi marco estándar tiene alrededor de 20 mm (0.8 in) de ancho.
Utilizo acrílico super claro (perspex/acrylite) para el vidrio del marco. Es más ligero y seguro que el vidrio, y se ve mejor, ya que la reflectividad es menor.
Seis colores de marco estándar están disponibles de forma gratuita (negro, marrón oscuro, gris oscuro, roble, blanco y oro antiguo).El enmarcado y montaje/matizado personalizado está disponible si buscas algo diferente.
La mayoría de los mapas, arte e ilustraciones también están disponibles como un lienzo enmarcado. Utilizamos lienzo de algodón mate (no brillante), lo estiramos sobre un marco de madera de caja de origen sostenible, y luego 'flotamos' la pieza dentro de un marco de madera. El resultado final es bastante hermoso, y no hay cristal que se interponga.
Todos los marcos se proporcionan "listos para colgar", con una cuerda o soportes en la parte posterior. Los marcos muy grandes tendrán placas de colgar de alta resistencia y/o un listón de montaje. Si tienes alguna pregunta, por favor ponte en contacto.
Mira algunos ejemplos de mis mapas enmarcados y mapas en lienzo enmarcados.
Alternativamente, también puedo proporcionar mapas antiguos y obras de arte en lienzo, tablero de espuma, papel de algodón y otros materiales.
Si deseas enmarcar tu mapa o obra de arte tú mismo, por favor lee mi guía de tamaños primero.
Algunos de mis mapas antiguos ahora están disponibles como lienzos enmarcados. Por favor contáctame si deseas pedir un tamaño que no está disponible en mi tienda.
Los mapas antiguos en lienzo son una alternativa interesante a los mapas enmarcados convencionalmente. Dependiendo de tu gusto personal y la decoración de la habitación, los mapas en lienzo pueden "destacar" un poco más que un mapa enmarcado.
Mis mapas son reproducciones de mapas originales de altísima calidad.
Obtengo mapas originales y raros de bibliotecas, casas de subastas y colecciones privadas de todo el mundo, los restauro en mi taller de Londres y luego uso tintas e impresoras giclée especializadas para crear hermosos mapas que lucen incluso mejor que el original.
Mis mapas están impresos en papel de archivo mate (no brillante) sin ácido que se siente de muy alta calidad y casi como una tarjeta. En términos técnicos, el peso/grosor del papel es de 10 mil/200 g/m². Es perfecto para enmarcar.
Imprimo con tintas pigmentadas Epson ultrachrome giclée UV resistentes a la decoloración, algunas de las mejores tintas que puedes encontrar.
yo también puedo hacer mapas sobre lienzo, trapo de algodón y otros materiales exóticos.
