MAAS, Abraham.

Nova Maris Caspii et Regionis Usbeck...
Nuremberg: Homann's Heirs, c.1735. Original colour. 500 x 600mm.

The Caspian Sea, but also showing east through Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, with the important Silk Road cities of Bokhara, Samarkand and Tashkent.

The Caspian Sea had only just been mapped accurately: the Aral Sea is still featureless and filled with a note about what little was known.
