[Asia, Holy Land]
DUCHETTI, Caludio (active, c.1565-c.1572).
Hierusalem.
Engraved view.
Venice, c. 1570.
12 1/4" x 17 1/4" sheet.

Very Rare, beautifully engraved, early view of Jerusalem. Duchetti's fine modern view of Jerusalem shows the City from the West. Laor noted that the view is likely based upon Stefano Du Perac's view of 1570, also published in Rome.

The map is richly annotated, identifying a number of place names and historical points of interest, including Jewish, Christian and Islamic religious landmarks. First state without the addition of Hendrick van Schoel's imprint at center. (Tooley #339; Laor #1012 (Duchetti edition))

Condition: Overall Very Good with ample margins, original folds, old repair to the lower right with browning and some print loss.
