The Kingdom of Persia with the Chief Cities and Habites described.
39.5cm x 51.5cm
Finely coloured, a superb example on thicker paper; a dark impression.
Engraved by Abraham Goos for Speed's Prospect of the World. A fine early map of Persia, displaying in the top border the cities of Isfahan, Hormuz, Tabriz and Tehran. The side panels illustrate a Persian nobleman, a Citizen, a Countryman and a Turk, all with their respective wives. On the verso is a two-page English text "The Description of the Kingdom of Persia". If your really into collecting old world maps, take a real good look at the ones we are putting up. They are from a serious collector, who has collected for years. He is moving and retiring, and selling out a lot of items that he does not get to enjoy much anymore. He has been a map collector for years, and we have offers on just about all his maps. I talked him into letting me show some of these, and if you can better what he already has, then you may end with some of them. It will probably be a one time deal, as I only have access of them for the next 30 days, after that, well they will be sold to buyers who already made really good offers and you only have a little time to see if you want any. They are in great condition, always maintained and in acid free paper, as he knows exactly how to take care of them. If you have any questions about photos, they were shot in a clear acid free plastic, and maybe a little blurry, but he will be glad to answer any and all questions. ...
