Map Description
Old map of Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Yemen.
Frédéric Phélypeaux, Count de Maurepas (1701-81), secretary of state under King Louis XV. The map was drawn from an earlier chart of the Eastern Ocean, "improv'd from particular surveys and regulated by astronomical observations." This English edition of the de Maurepas map has a different title cartouche. The "Remarks" section at the lower right gives abbreviations for physical features on the map, and notes: " A Stroke under ye Name of a Place denotes ye Latitude having been Observed by Astronomers, and a Prict [sic] Line by skilful Navigators." Longitude is measured in degrees east of the "Isle de Fer" (Ferro, in the Canary Islands). Town names are as they appeared on the earlier French map. The Red Sea is listed as the "Red Sea or Arabic Gulf."
Created by G. Child in 1740.

Map Sizing Information
- For the best legibility, order your map in the original size or larger. Most maps have intricate detail and small text that is best appreciated when the print size hasn't been reduced.
- Sizes labeled "Fits a Standard Frame" will drop right into any frame that you purchase in that size. The sizes that we offer are commonly available online and at most retail stores.
- Our standard sizes are recommendations based on the aspect ratio of the original map, but still may require some added "white space" in one dimension to fit.
- Non-standard sizes will require custom framing, and we suggest taking your print to the frame shop of your choice after you receive it for the best results.
- Custom sizes are available, simply contact us for a quote.
Below is an approximation of the scale of a few standard sizes, and how they might appear in your space.
