Old map of Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Yemen.1664), or Jan Jansson. Jansson was born in Arnhem, the son of Jan Jansson the Elder, a publisher and bookseller. Jansson's maps are similar to those of Willem Janszoon Blaeu (1571-1638), the founder of the Blaeu cartographic firm, and Jansson is sometimes accused of copying from his rival, but many of his maps predate those of Blaeu or cover different regions. This map is very similar to an earlier Blaeu map. The map shows more rivers on the Arabian Peninsula, six in total, than on many other maps. Some town names are badly copied, such as "Bocealima," which is Blaeu's "Roccalima." "Mascalat" is shown as a large and important town. There are dotted lines along the coast from "Calva" in the present-day United Arab Emirates (UAE) to beyond Bahrain Island. The Arabian Gulf is called "Mare elcatif olim Sinus Persicus" (Al Qatif Sea formerly known as the Persian Gulf) and the Strait of Hormuz called "Basora fretum" or Strait of Basra. The Red Sea is called "Mare Rubrum turcis Mare Mecca olim Sinus Arabicus" (Red Sea, named Sea of Mecca by Turks and formerly known as the Arabian Gulf).
Created by Jan Jansson in 1658.

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.
