Old map of Egypt, Eritrea, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Yemen.day Jiddah, Saudi Arabia), Suakem (present-day Suakin Island, Sudan), Matzua and Arkiko (present-day Hirgigo and Massawa, both in Eritrea), and al-Babo (literally, the mouth), where the Red Sea empties into the Gulf of Aden. Ten scales indicate distance in four different kinds of miles, hours taken by caravans walking to Mecca, four different kinds of leagues, and giams (an Arabic maritime unit of measurement). D'Anville was an important French cartographer known for his scrupulous attention to detail and his commitment to accuracy. His method was to collect and compare as many sources of geographic information as possible and to correct and reissue maps as new information became available. He was appointed the first geographer to the king of France, Louis XV, in 1773, the same year that he was elected to the Academy of Sciences. His own personal collection of maps eventually totaled nearly 9,000 items. The map is a good impression printed on sturdy double-layered paper with full margins; it has some mold stains on the right edge of the image and centerline and light general soiling.

Map Sizing Information
- For the best legibility, order your map in the original size or larger. Most maps have intricate detail and small text that is best appreciated when the print size hasn't been reduced.
- Sizes labeled "Fits a Standard Frame" will drop right into any frame that you purchase in that size. The sizes that we offer are commonly available online and at most retail stores.
- Our standard sizes are recommendations based on the aspect ratio of the original map, but still may require some added "white space" in one dimension to fit.
- Non-standard sizes will require custom framing, and we suggest taking your print to the frame shop of your choice after you receive it for the best results.
- Custom sizes are available, simply contact us for a quote.
Below is an approximation of the scale of a few standard sizes, and how they might appear in your space.
