Iran and Turan Map – Persia, Afghanistan, Baluchistan, Turkestan 1858
This impressive antique print shows “Iran und Turan (Persien, Afghanistan, Beludschistan, Turkestan),” meaning “Iran and Turan (Persia, Afghanistan, Baluchistan, Turkestan).” Published in 1858 by Justus Perthes in Gotha as part of Adolf Stieler’s esteemed Hand-Atlas, the map was drawn and engraved by F. v. Stülpnagel.
The map depicts the Middle East and Central Asia region in great detail, including modern-day Iran, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and parts of Kazakhstan and Pakistan. It shows major cities such as Tehran, Herat, Kabul, Samarkand, Bukhara, and Kandahar, as well as rivers, deserts (such as the Dasht-e Kavir), and mountain ranges including the Elburz and Hindu Kush.
This map is significant for its representation of a complex region at the height of the Great Game era, reflecting European geopolitical interest in Central Asia between the Russian and British Empires. It provides valuable insight into mid-19th-century political boundaries, trade routes, and tribal territories before extensive European colonisation or influence altered the regional dynamics.
Technique: Copperplate engraving with original hand colouring used to delineate political borders and regions in subtle, elegant hues. German titles and annotations are engraved with precision typical of Stieler’s renowned cartographic clarity.
Condition summary: Excellent condition with strong impression, minimal toning, and no tears or repairs. A faint brown spot at lower margin, touching the engraved area. Colours remain vivid, and paper is firm and stable.
Framing tips: This detailed Central Asia and Persia map will look refined in a dark wood or black frame to emphasise its historical and geopolitical gravitas. Pair with a wide cream or ivory mount to balance its intricate composition. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve fine engraved details and original colouring for long-term display.
