Cornelis Danckerts: Nova Persiae Armeniae Natoliae et Arabiae [shows Cyprus]
Title: Nova Persiae Armeniae Natoliae et Arabiae [shows Cyprus] Map Maker: Cornelis Danckerts
Description: Rare Cornelis Danckerts edition of this decorative and highly desireable map of the region bounded by the Saudi Peninsula, Red Sea, Nile River, Cyprus, Asia Minor, the Gulf of Aden, Indian Ocean, Armenia, the Caspian Sea, Afganistan and the Indian Ocean, centered on the Persian Gulf. Includes two attractive cartouches, ships at sea and marvelous geographical detail within the map. One of the few available Dutch maps to mention Armenia in the title of the map and one of the most detailed of the region. While the map appears similar to De Wit's map of the same title, it is a completely different copper plate, with many noticable differences, especially in the cartouche.
