Show moreThis is decorative and highly desirable antique map of Middle East by the Frederick de Wit. The map was published in Amsterdam 1675. Dating de Wit's map can be challenging as most of them do not include dates and the atlases were published over long periods of time.

Unlike most many maps of the area a great amount of geographic information is shown throughout the Arabian Peninsula including the locations of cities towns rivers and mountain ranges, the source for the detail in this map can be attributed to Sanson's map of 1654 which is widely regarded as one of the largest scaled and best detailed maps of the region until the mid-seventeenth century.

Show moreThis map by Jan Huygen van Linschoten is representative of different school of cartpgraphy dating from the end of the 16th century. He used details brought back by numerous voyagers to compile information on the entire region. The shape of the Arabian Peninsula, including the whole of Arabia, is far more accurate than of earlier maps. Julfaf (now called Ras al Khaimah) is indicated for the first time. The arrowhead-shaped Qatar peninsula, called catura, can be clearly distinguished. It is located in the midst of an oyster-bed represented by small pearl-dots. [Jan Huygen van Linschoten, Henricus F. ab Langren]. Relief shown pictorially. From the author's Itinerario, voyage ofte schipvaert van Jan Huygen van Linschoten naer Oost ofte Portugaels Indien. Includes decorative cartouche and compass rose and col. ill. Some information taken from dealer's appraisal catalog.
