This striking map of the Persian Empire includes present-day Iran, Iraq, Armenia, Georgia, Afghanistan, and part of Pakistan. Two large pictorial cartouches graphically depict the cultural attainments of the empire. The map is filled with detail of towns, mountains, forests, caravan routes, and a quaint village scene is pictured in the Turkistan region.

Condition: A

A nice example with contemporary color in the map and later color in the cartouches, and soiling mostly confined to the blank margins. There are archival repairs to several separations along the centerfold and to a tear in the left blank margin.
