Description
Herman Moll's attractive map of the Arabian peninsular, engraved during the middle of the eighteenth century,and published in London. The map has a compass rose, grid lines, a mileage scale and a boxed title. The peninsular is flanked by the The Red Sea and the 'Gulf of Bassora' (the Persian Gulf). There is the Hadj line from Basra to Mecca.
Fair topographical content with mountains, cities and villages shown, both inland and coastal, and some brief comments by Moll.
In about 1678 Herman Moll, a German by birth, came to London and worked as an engraver for other publishers in the city. He soon set up his own business publishing atlases and also separate maps of all parts of the world. His work was varied, ranging from miniature maps to large very decorative wall maps.
