Description
Ordnance Survey of Jerusalem by Captain Charles W. Wilson, 1864-5.
In 1865, due to poor sanitary conditions in Jerusalem, the Ottoman governor turned to the British government for assistance. Following this request Charles Wilson was sent to Eretz Israel to survey the situation and to improve the sewage system. In 1865, to summarize his survey, Wilson published a book and a map which, in fact, was the first modern map of Jerusalem.
120X70 cm, good condition, missing piece at upper right corner, folding marks and minor tears around the edges.
