Regnum Persicum Imperium Turcicum in Asia Russorum Provinciae and Mare Caspium. |
||||||
Description |
English: A scarce and altogether spectacular c. 1730 map of southwestern Asia, specifically focusing on Persia, by Reiner and Joshua Ottens. Covers from Egypt and Greece eastward to include Turkey, the northern part of the Arabian Peninsula, the Black and Caspian Seas, Persia, and Tartary, Afghanistan and Pakistan, including the Indus valley and the western extant of the Mogul Empire. Extends as far north as Asof (Asov) and “Tibet”, and as far south as Medina. Includes superb detail regarding the early 18th century Silk Route trading routes through Persia and Central Asia, noting the important centers of Samarkand, Bukhara and Tashkent. Generally accurate with only a few notable flaws. Most specifically the positioning of Lake Van and Lake Chahi in close proximity to one another. These lakes are in fact separated by over 160 kilometers. Identifies the Pyramids of Egypt, the ruins of Troy, Mt. Sinai, and Mt. Agerdaghi (Mt. Ararat, but labeled Mt. Noah). Upper right quadrant features an attractive title cartouche with baroque ornamentation. Upper left quadrant has eight distance scales on a curtain. |
