Map Description
Old map of Bahrain, Iran, Islamic Republic of, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syrian Arab Republic, United Arab Emirates, Yemen.
colored engraved map by Herman Moll (died 1732) first published in 1709 in Atlas Manuale - A New Set of Maps of All Parts of the Earth, the earliest of Moll's two small-format world atlases, which were popular for their relatively low cost and soon were followed by other editions. Moll was born in Bremen and moved to London in the mid- to late 1670s. After his fine engraving for a number of London map publishers gained him a clientele, he began to work independently. His atlases included a monthly magazine version called Atlas Geographicus that ran from 1711 to 1717, The World Described published in 1724, and, published shortly before his death, The Roads of Europe. Maps by Moll appeared in Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe and Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels. The edition presented here of Arabia Agreeable to Modern History dates from 1715. Quite detailed despite its small size, it covers the Red Sea and part of East Africa, the Arabian Peninsula eastward to the Arabian Gulf (labeled Gulf of Bassora), and northward to present-day Syria, Iraq, and Iran. The map shows physical features, settlements, caravan trails, and tribal affiliation. Scale is indicated in miles.
Created by Herman Moll in 1715.

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.
