description: A very nice example of A. J. Johnson’s 1866 <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">map</u> of Arabia, Persia and Turkey in Asia. Covers from the Mediterranean and Egypt eastwards as far as the Mouths of the Indus River, as well as southward as far as the Horn of Africa and northwards to the Black Sea. Depicts most of the politically volatile modern day middle east, including the nations of Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel, Syria, Lebanon and Turkey. Offers color coding according to country and region as well as notations regarding desert caravan routes, oases, roadways, river systems, forts and monasteries, and some topographical features. Ostensibly this <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">map</u> is very similar to Colton's 1858 <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">map</u> of the same region, however, there are a number of significant differences. Johnson reduced Colton's original <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">map</u> in order to expand the <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">map</u> westward by about 10 degrees, making it possible for him to incorporate all of Turkey as well as add significant detail in northwestern Africa and the Nile Valley. Johnson's retooling of the <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">map</u> also allowed for the addition of his three attractive woodcut views: Muscat (lower left), Trebisond (lower left) and the Castle and Port of Smyrna (lower right). Features the fretwork style border common to Johnson’s atlas work from 1864 to 1869. Published by A. J. Johnson and Ward as plate number 95 in the 1865 edition of Johnson’s New Illustrated Family Atlas. This is the last edition of the Family Atlas to bear the Johnson and Ward imprint.

description: A fine first edition example of Guillaume De L’Isle’s important 1724 <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">map</u> of Persia. Covers from the Crimea and the Sea of Azov south to the Persian Gulf and the Straight of Ormuz and east as far as Kashmir (Cachmir) and Kabul (Caboul). This <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">map</u> includes modern day Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kuwait, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan, with adjacent parts of Russia, Pakistan, Turkey, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan, and Arabia. Cartographically De L’Isle’s mapping of Persia marks a significant advance in European cartographic knowledge of the region. This <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">map</u> benefits considerably from Russian cartographic surveys and other sources no doubt smuggled to Guillaume De L’Isle by his brother Nicholas de L’Isle, who held a cartographic position with the Russian Academy of Sciences. The extent to which Russian data influenced this <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">map</u> is nowhere more evident than in De L’Isle’s remarkable rendering of the Caspian Sea – one of the first accurate maps of the great lake to follow Van Verden’s historic survey of 1721. Russian cartographic information is also apparent with regard to place names, such as the Russian name for the Aral Sea (Glouchoiye). It is equally likely that De L’Isle drew on Russian sources for his mapping of the Silk Route centers of Bukhara, Samarkand, and Ferghana, which were known stopping points for Russian trade envoys to China. For the remainder of Persia De L’Isle most likely updated Persian and <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">arabic</u> cartographic information with reports from Georgian and Armenian traders and mercenaries active throughout Persia. It may be through these sources that De L’Isle was able to add considerable geographic information regarding trade routes and place names in central Persia. These include such significant advances as the identification of Terheran (Tiheran), the current capital of Iran, which is notable absent it earlier European maps of Persia. This <u style="background-color:yellow;" class="">map</u> was drawn by Guillaume De L’Isle and engraved by P. Starckman. It issued independently as well as included in a number of composite atlases including De L’Isle’s 1731 Atlas de Geographie . A number of reissues by Buache, Covens &amp; Mortier, and others followed.
