MULLER, Johann Ulrich - BODENEHR, Gabriel : Egyptus

80 x 65 mm., with mild waterstain in the lower margin, otherwise in fine condition on thick paper.

In 1692 Johann Ulrich Müller (1633-1715) published a small geographical work entitled 'Geographia Totius Orbis Compendiaria'. It appears the maps were engraved by a member of the Bodenehr family. This example is from the virtually unrecorded smaller format edition published by Gabriel Bodenehr entitled 'Atlas Minor sive Orbis Terrae'. No date is to be found on the title but c.1703 is presumed. The map depicts Egypt and the River Nile. Refer to King (2003) pp. 25 & 160B1; Phillips (1909-) no. 512; Shirley (2004) T.Mull-1a no. 74.
