Description: 1721 De Wit Map of Northern Egypt WE SELL ONLY ORIGINAL ANTIQUE MAPS - NOT REPRODUCTIONS Title: Nova Aegypti Tabula. Description: This is a beautiful map of northern Egypt and the Red Sea by Frederik De Wit. Centered on the Nile River, the map is oriented with east on top and covers the Nile delta in northern regions of the Egypt. The entire map is depicted in extraordinary detail, offering both topographical and political information, with mountains beautifully rendered in profile. Two sets of pyramids are noted. This map was based on an earlier Bleau map of the same title. A beautifully engraved title cartouche adorns the top left quadrant of the map and the scale in the lower right quadrant is being held up by two men. The map was issued by Covens and Mortier and printed shortly following their 1721 acquisition of De Wit's plates from Maria De Wit. Size: Printed area measures 16 inches high by 21.5 inches wide.

DHL or FedEx will contact the buyer by telephone to arrange tax payment if it is levied. Duty varies by country and we cannot predict the amount you will be charged. Some countries are duty free, others are not. Typically, a customs duty and/or VAT tax will be assessed on all parcels to continental Europe. Sometimes duty or tax is due in China, but is seems very random. Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan have never assessed duty on a map we shipped. Maps shipped to the UK should be duty free as educational materials, but from time to time duty of 5% is assessed incorrectly by the UK customs agents.
