Map of all the Earth after the Flood (1671) by Joseph Moxon, from the Original, Framed Art Print

Public domain art from the State Library of New South Wales, digitally enhanced.

Full title 'A Map of all the Earth and how after the Flood it was Divided Among the Sons of Noah'.

Designed to be bound inside a Bible, Joseph Moxon’s map provides a fascinating glimpse into how maps were used to help readers visualise and comprehend text from the Bible in the seventeenth-century. Moxon produced several different Bible maps, with this one illustrating the division of the globe between the sons of Noah following the biblical flood.

The world's landmasses are labelled with the names of Noah’s descendants and numbered to correspond to contemporary place names. Despite the ancient subject matter, the map is current for its time, incorporating geographic information about the coastline of Australia obtained from the voyages of Abel Tasman (in 1642–43 and 1644). Bordering the map are vignettes illustrating the Seven Days of Creation, and biblical scenes, including the Fall of Man, Moses receiving the Ten Commandments, and the Crucifixion of Christ.
