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. This is handsome map of the Middle East covers the regions from Turkey and Egypt to Afghanistan and the Arabian Peninsula Red Sea, Nile River, Cyprus, Asia Minor, the Gulf of Aden, Indian Ocean, Armenia, the Caspian Sea, and the Indian Ocean. 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. The decorative title cartouche features several exotic figures animals and a merchant ship. descriptio per F. de Wit. Relief shown pictorially. "Gemeene Duytsche mylen van 15 in een graedt."

Show moreOld color example of Ortelius' map of the Middle East, from Egypt to modern-day Iraq, prominently featuring the Arabian Peninsula, and extending north of the Mediterranean from Turkey across Greece to Italy. Extracted from map of Asia in 1567 edition of Ortelius previous map, but this map with more detail based on Ortelius own map of Asia, which was in turn derived from Giacomo Gastaldis Il Disegno della Seconda Parte dellAsia (1561), for the Arabian detail. A description of the Ormus region is given in a blank space in Persia. Considered to be far superior to all previous maps of Asia, as it was informed by the published travels of Marco Polo, which appeared in Ramusios Navigationi et Viaggi (1550-59). Ortelius map features the Arabian Peninsula prominently and shows lands surrounding the eastern Mediterranean, with Italy in the northwest, southward to the east coast of Africa. The coastlines are fairly accurate, but the interiors are less defined and many of the rivers, lakes and mountain ranges bear mythological names from antiquity. The seas are richly embellished with sailing ships, with a great monster in the Black Sea. Latin text on verso, Abraham Ortelius map of the Middle East, Turkey and the Eastern Mediterranean is the best known of all the 16th-century maps of the Ottoman Empire. Relief shown pictorially.
