Antique Map of Persia and Afghanistan, 1903, with Delicate Pastel Borders

Informazioni sull’articolo

Title: Antique Map of Persia and Afghanistan, 1903, with Delicate Pastel Borders and Detailed Topography Description: This antique map, titled "Persia and Afghanistan," was engraved and published in 1903 by W. & A.K. Johnston in Edinburgh and London. It offers a highly detailed and beautifully crafted depiction of two regions that have long been at the center of trade, culture, and political intrigue in Central Asia. Hand-colored in soft pastel shades of green, pink, yellow, and blue, the map delineates provincial and national boundaries with elegant clarity. Major cities, including Tehran, Kabul, Herat, and Kandahar, are clearly marked, along with key mountain ranges, river systems, and desert regions. The map’s delicate typography and precise engraving highlight the rugged beauty and strategic importance of these lands. Of particular interest is the map’s depiction of the Caspian Sea, the Persian Gulf, and the Arabian Sea, emphasizing the maritime and economic connections that linked Persia and Afghanistan to neighboring empires and beyond. The vast and often harsh landscapes of these regions are captured with a sense of both artistry and scientific precision, reflecting the skill of Johnston’s renowned cartographers. For collectors, historians, and those with an interest in the rich history of the Middle East and Central Asia, this map is more than just a beautiful visual piece—it is a window into a time when these lands were at the crossroads of empires and cultural exchange. Condition report: This map is in very good antique condition, with minor foxing and gentle edge toning typical for its age. The colors remain vibrant and the paper is stable and well-preserved. Framing tips: A classic wooden frame in walnut or cherry will bring out the warm pastel tones and the intricate detailing of this map. Use a cream or off-white matting to highlight the fine engraving and create a sophisticated and timeless focal point for any room or study.
