EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Manuscript Map of the Southern Portion of the Red Sea from the Horn of Africa and Yemen up to Jiddah. Created by an anonymous French School artist in the 18th century, this ink and wash on paper masterpiece measures 52x72 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The map, which was printed around 1740, offers an intricate depiction of the southern region of the Red Sea. It was originally part of Depot de la Marine's navigational equipment, serving as a crucial tool for sailors exploring these treacherous waters. The detailed drawing includes topographical paintings, geographical features, and waterways essential for safe navigation.
