Nova Maria Caspii Et Regionis Usbeck ...
|
A finely engraved and attractive map of this increasingly wealthy, and quickly developing, region of central Asia featuring the countries around, and to the east of, the Caspian Sea in good detail. Based on the travels of Abraham Maas, the Dutch cartographer, in northern Persia and in today's Uzbechistan and Kazakstan. A finely engraved titlepiece showing European and Cossack figures decorates the map which identifies towns such as Astrakan, Bachu, Eriwan, Isphahan, Samarkand, and Cabul, and, unusually shows trade routes. In attractive wash colours this fine map was one of the first depictions of this area of Asia of such importance for its location along the Silk trade routes to the Far East.
