Beskrivning
This intricately detailed early 17th-century map by Petrus Kaerius (Pieter van den Keere), titled "Persici vel Sophorum Regni Typus", depicts the Persian Empire during the Safavid dynasty. Engraved and hand-colored, the map presents the vast territory of Persia stretching from the Caspian Sea to the Indus River, and from the Arabian Desert to Central Asia and India.
Originally published around 1620, the map features rich topographic detail, Latin place names, stylized mountain ranges, rivers, and forests, as well as decorative cartouches. It highlights key cities of the time, including Ispahan, Ormus, Tabriz, Bagdad, Cabul, and Meched. The Caspian Sea is strikingly shaped and labeled Mare Caspium sive Hyrcanium, and the Persian Gulf is shown as Mare Elcatif.
Petrus Kaerius was a Dutch engraver and cartographer active in the golden age of Dutch mapmaking. His works were featured in influential atlases and are notable for their fine engraving, decorative elements, and historical accuracy for the time.
