This colorful and detailed early 18th century copperplate map by John Cary entitled "A New Map of Persia from the Latest Authorities" was published in London in 1801. It depicts Persia, the region of modern day Afghanistan, the Caspian Sea, the Sea of Aral, the Persian Gulf and portions of the Black Sea and the northern portion of the Indian Ocean. Portions of modern-day Saudia Arabia, Qatar and Pakistan are included.
This hand-colored map is presented in a brown wood frame with a gold inner trim and a light tan mat. It is glazed with TruVue UV conservation glass. The frame measures 23.5" high, 25.75" wide and 1" deep. There is a central vertical fold as issued. There is a short tear to the right of the lower portion of the fold and mild color offset in the lower left from the lower right as a result of having been folded in an atlas for many years. The map is otherwise in very good condition.
