"The Langren map was produced to accompany the edition of Linschoten's Navigatio ac Itinerarium in 1596, and was copied for several other works. The surprising fact about the representation of the peninsula is the close resemblance of the outline to that of a modern map when compared with other engraved maps of the time." (Tibbetts p. 23) "This is a rare and early map of the Arabian peninsula. A lion, camel and elephant are shown in the north of the region, which together with galleons and a sea-monster make it a very decorative map." (Stuart McMinn Catalogue)
