Handsome large-format map of Persia
Impressive large-format map of Persia, extending from the western extent of Asia Minor into Afghanistan.
This is one of the largest maps of Persia of the period, printed on two sheets, and originally folded into a contemporary composite atlas.
Reinier (I) (1698-1750) and Josua (1704-1765) were brothers, inheriting their father’s cartographic publishing business on the death of their mother in 1725. They had an interesting and varied output, as one of the leading map-publishers of their period in Amsterdam, including this fine map of Persia.
