Item description from seller

Title: "Kaartje van Persien na de stelling van den Heer Guillaume de L'Isle" Translates to "Map of Persia based on the work of Mr. Guillaume de L'Isle." Guillaume de L'Isle was a prominent French cartographer known for his influential maps during the 18th century. Published by Jacob Keizer and by Jan de Lat Creator: Keizer, Jacob, active 1706-1750 Map of Persia with parts of Persia, Egypt and Abyssinia. Scale: Duitsche Mylen 15 in een Graad,75. Fransche mylen 20 in een graad,100. Size: 17.10 x 24.20cm. Description: Published by Jacob Keizer and Jan de Lat, this map likely reflects the expertise of Jacob Keizer, who was active as a cartographer between 1706 and 1750. Jan de Lat might have been involved in the publishing or distribution of the map. Guillaume de L'Isle's cartographic work was highly regarded for its accuracy and attention to detail, and maps based on his works were esteemed for their precision during the 18th century. This map of Persia would likely offer a comprehensive depiction of the region's geographical features, cities, rivers, and possibly include historical or cultural annotations based on de L'Isle's cartographic knowledge. The collaboration between Keizer and de Lat in publishing this map indicates its potential significance as a reliable and detailed representation of Persia during that period, contributing to the understanding of geography and historical context of the region. I don't have the specific map you're referring to at hand to visually identify the provinces or areas depicted. However, a map of Persia based on the work of Guillaume de L'Isle might show various provinces, regions, or cities within Persia (modern-day Iran). Persia historically consisted of different regions, provinces, and territories that might be displayed on the map. Some notable areas include: 1. **Mazandaran:** A province in the north of Iran known for its diverse climate and landscapes. 2. **Khorasan:** A historical region that covers a large area in northeastern Iran. 3. **Fars:** A province in the southern part of Iran, historically significant as the birthplace of the Persian Empire. 4. **Isfahan:** A province and city known for its cultural heritage and historical significance. 5. **Tehran:** The capital city, which might have been depicted prominently on the map. These are just a few examples of regions within Persia that might have been delineated on the map based on the cartographic knowledge available during the period when the map was created. The specific divisions or provinces displayed would depend on the cartographer's choice and the available geographical information at that time.
