Description:

Copper-engraved map. 29x35 cm (11½x13¾").

Map of the Caspian Sea and surrounding coasts, with east at the top. The cartography is speculative - Warren Heckrotte comments that bears "little resemblance to the Caspian Sea" though he calls it attractive. Pictorial cartouche at upper right depicts representative peoples of the region.
Condition Report: A bit of darkening at centerfold; very good.
