About This Item
Copenhagen, c. 1772. Copper engraving, 59 x 39.5 cms, engraved by Defehrt after Martin, modern hand-colour, blank verso; engraved in Copenhagen in 1771, our example is from one of the original Copenhagen editions of Niebuhrs account of his travels published in 1772-1773, rather the Amsterdam editions of 1774 onwards. Niebuhr was the sole survivor of the Royal Danish Arabia Expedition of 1761-1767, and this is the earliest reliable, detailed printed map of Yemen. Map
