Description

This is a very detailed map of the Caspian Sea regions to the north and east. It includes the Caspian Sea, Aral Sea, and the khanate of Khiva, including parts of today's Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and Northern Iran. A seldom mapped region.
The map is filled with place names, roads, and various notes on the region. The Aral Sea is prominent, with a large island in the center and notes such as, "According to the level ascertained barometrically in 1826, Lake Aral has 13 Toises 3/10 higher than that of the Caspian Sea."

Published by John Arrowsmith (1790-1873) in his "The London Atlas of Universal Geography, Exhibiting the Physical & Political Divisions of the Various Countries of the World. . .".

This Atlas was published in several editions from 1832-1846, and volumes were made up individually for purchasers.

The Arrowsmiths were a cartographic dynasty that operated from the late eighteenth to the mid-nineteenth century. The family business was founded by Aaron Arrowsmith (1750-1823), who was renowned for carefully prepared and meticulously updated maps, globes, and charts. 

Aaron Arrowsmith was born in County Durham in 1750. He came to London for work around 1770, where he found employment as a surveyor for the city’s mapmakers. 

Aaron Arrowsmith died in 1823, and the business and title of Hydrographer to the King passed to his sons, Aaron and Samuel, and, later, his nephew, John. Aaron Jr. (1802-1854)
John (1790-1873) operated his own independent business after his uncle, Aaron Arrowsmith Sr., died. After 1839, John moved into the Soho premises of his uncle and cousins. John enjoyed considerable recognition in the geography and exploration community. Like Aaron Jr., John was a founding member of the RGS and would serve as its unofficial cartographer for 43 years.

Some of the most asked FAQ by our clients

Librairie Loeb-Larocque specializes in maps, atlases, and travel books from the 16th to 19th centuries.

The Librairie was founded in 1958 by Louis Loeb-Larocque. Originally, he arrived in France from Germany shortly after World War II. He started an antiquarian map and book shop in Paris, specializing in early maps, atlases, travel books, and prints. The shop was located at Rue Le Peletier until 1996, and was frequently visited by collectors and fellow dealers from all parts of the world.

At present, the office is located at 31 rue de Tolbiac in Paris in the lively 13th district, a 5-minute walk from the Bibliothéque Nationale de France (Metro Line 14)

The value of any rare book, atlas, globe, print, or map is affected by many factors: its rarity, condition, binding, provenance, and the significance of any inscriptions it may contain. Béatrice Loeb-Larcque, an expert and member of the Syndicat Français des Experts Professionnels en Œuvres d'Art et Objets de Collection, provides a free appraisal if you are considering selling. We provide auction estimates based on photographs sent via the Internet. These estimates are not for valuation purposes and are subject to revision upon inspection of the object. It is impossible to provide verbal estimates by telephone, nor can we respond to requests sent without a photo.

There is no easy answer to this question. Some books or maps have, without question, appreciated considerably in value over the years.
Others have remained steadily desirable without seeing a significant rise in price, and still others can be purchased for little money but give great personal satisfaction.
Librairie Loeb-Larocque, with 60 years of experience in the rare map and book trade, can help you decide what kind of collection you would like to build.
