Map recognized as the most important of the 19th century. Van de Velde first made a new map of Jerusalem. Alone, with a 7-inch surveyor's compass, without theodolites (which required several people to operate) and without making astronomical observations (which took a long time). Despite this, his map was considered the most accurate at the time, and on his return from his trip to Palestine, he was able to obtain the survey data from the Royal Engineers of 1840 and used them in the production of his new maps. .Considering the shortcomings of existing English cartographies, Van de Velde drew up his map, comparing the data with his work as well as all known prior geographic and cartographic knowledge. Yehoshua Ben-Arieh said: “Ritter's handwriting and the map of van de Velde together can be seen as the culmination of fifty years of exploration and research in the geography of Palestine and the Holy Land.
