Show moreThis hand-colored engraved map was first published in "Atlas Manuale A New Set of Maps of All Parts of the Earth" during the early part of the 18th century. Herman Moll was one of the foremost map publishers in England at this time. This highly detailed yet small map covers Arabian Peninsula eastward to the Persian Gulf and northward to Iraq and Desert of Syria, and the Red Sea region including part of Africa. It is a clear and attractive cartographic document that shows physical features, settlements, caravan trails, and tribal affiliation. by H. Moll, geographer. Relief shown pictorially. Main Heritage Compact General HC.MAP.00083 Print Map Item-ID: i11401473 BIB-ID: 1822137 Herman Moll was born in 1654 of German descent. He first came to London to work as an engraver for several publishers, and in the late 1670s set up his own business publishing atlases as well as maps of all parts of the world. His earliest known cartographic work is a series of small maps for the geography book of Sir Jonas Moore, published in 1683. Over the next fifty years he produced numerous works on classical, British and foreign geography, illustrated with maps of varying scales and detail yet in clear, distinctive style. Though his later work lacks the flamboyance of earlier productions, it is nevertheless still very pleasing to the eye. Molls best known works are the maps he produced for his folio atlas "The World Described", first published circa 1715. Perhaps Molls most famous map is the "New and Exact Map of the Dominions of the King of Great Britain on Ye Continent of North America", depicting the English colonies along the east coast. The map is more popularly called the Beaver Map after its attractive vignette scene of beavers building dams. His other works include the "Atlas Manuale" (1709), the "New and Complete Atlas" (1719), the "Atlas Minor" (1729) and "Atlas Geographus" (1711-17) in five volumes. Names of the places in English, and some are in Latin language. Show less
