A fine large map of the region from Turkey through Iran, featuring the Arabian peninsula prominently. The pictorial title cartouche bears testament to the strategic importance of the region as an important link between Europe and the East. The cartouche features men loading a ship, a Persian merchant, a camel herder, an Asian elephant and an exotic dancing girl. The distance scale shows a sailor using navigational instruments. The map is nicely detailed throughout.
