This is a beautiful hand colored map of Persian and Arabia, dating to 1850, by the legendary American map publisher S.A. Mitchell, the elder. Includes what is today Saudi Arabia, Israel, Syria, Jordan, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan. Mitchell offers a wealth of detail throughout, identifying mountains, deserts, rivers, springs, caravan routes, cities, towns, forts, and an assortment of additional political and topographical elements. Map is hand colored in pink, green, yellow and blue pastels to define national and regional boundaries.
The whole is engraved and colored in Mitchell's distinctive style with green border work and vivid pastels. Mitchell published this chart in his atlas from 1846 to the late 1850s before discontinuing the series and selling his map plates to DeSilver. This map was issued in the 1849 edition of the New Universal Atlas. It was the last edition of that atlas to be published by Mitchell prior to selling the plates and rights to the atlas to Thomas Cowperthwait in 1850.
