Lead with what sets this map apart: it is a decorative map of the Holy Land titled "Canaan, The Land of Promise," designed to be read as much as consulted. Maps of this kind were popular in Protestant households and Sunday schools in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when Bible study was a daily habit and many families wanted a visual companion to the scriptures. Such maps typically combined geography with illustrations of biblical events and place names drawn from the text, so the land itself becomes a kind of narrative. Notice how the ornamental border and lettering turn a cartographic record into a devotional object.
