The title names the Holy Land itself as the subject, so this is a map rather than a scene, and its Latin heading, "Terra Sancta," means "Holy Land." Maps of this region were produced in large numbers in Europe from the sixteenth century onward, when printed atlases and Bible illustrations made the places named in scripture familiar to readers far from Palestine. The decorative cartouche, the framed panel that usually holds a title or a dedication, is worth a close look, since engravers often used these panels to show off their skill. Compare the lettering, the borders and the placement of place names with other devotional maps of the period.
