London: Bowles, John and Thomas, 1732. unbound. Map. Uncolored engraving. Image measures 9 1/2" x 10 1/4"<br/> <br/> This small map depicts the Persian Empire (modern day Iran, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan) and extends from the Euphrates to the Indus River. Several important cities, some that were part of the ancient Silk Route, are noted. Mountains and deserts are depicted pictorially, with additional descriptive notations throughout. The Gulf is named Gulf of Bassora. The map was published in Moll's "Atlas Minor." In very good condition with minor wear along folds.<br> <br> Herman Moll (c. 1654-1732) was born in Germany and settled in London in the 1670's where he worked as an engraver for Moses Pitt. By the turn of the century, Moll became the foremost map publisher in England, where he produced atlases and maps. As an engraver, cartographer, mapseller and globemaker he appealed to the public with his unusual views and vignettes. As the demand for his work was sustained, he issued many revised editions of his work.<br/> <br/>
