Persia, Arabia & C.

A fine example of S. A. Mitchell Sr.'s important c. 1850 map of Arabia, Persia, and Afghanistan. *Covers the region from the Mediterranean and Red Sea eastward as far as India, including all of modern day Saudi Arabia, Israel, Jordan, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Afghanistan, and parts of Pakistan. *Mitchell offers a wealth of detail throughout, identifying mountains, deserts, rivers, springs, caravan routes, cities, towns, forts, and an assortment of additional political and topographical elements. Map is hand colored in pink, green, yellow and blue pastels to define national and regional boundaries. *Cartographically this is an enlarged, updated, and revised version of a similar map first issued by Tanner in 1836. Dated and copyrighted: “1850 by Thomas Cowperthwait & co. in the Clerk’s office of the District Court of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.” Published by S. A. Mitchell for inclusion as plate no. 68 in the c.
