Printed Maps Of Jerusalem

A.G. Wartensleben 1870
National Librarry, 43x37cm (93k)

This map was drawn by Wartensleben, a German aristocrat, who visited
Jerusalem in the middle of the  nineteenth century. He wrote a book on
Jerusalem and included a map, which  depicted Jerusalem  as it was at
the end of the Ottaman Empire. This map  portrays the era, when many
nations tried to  wrest control of the Ottaman  Empire's  assets. These
nations  accomplished  that, among  other things, by building on the
inside as well as the outside of the Old City.
