Original Antique Map of Arabia and the Red Sea
About the Item
Antique map titled 'Carte de la Coste d'Arabie (..) - Kaart van de Kust van Arabië (..)'. This is a Dutch version, engraved by J. van Schley, of Bellin's map of Arabia and the Red Sea. The emphasis is the coastlines and the interior is primarily left blank. The shoals and navigational hazards in the Red Sea and the pearl banks off the coast of Bahrain are also noted. The Persian Gulf is depicted too wide and too far north. This map is more elaborately decorated with a flourishing title cartouche and a compass rose. Originates from a Dutch edition of Prevost's 'Histoire Generale des Voyages' published circa 1750.
