Description:
|
|
| Coastal map of Arabia, the Red Sea, and the Persian Gulf. Based on a larger French sea chart of the Indian Ocean. The interior of the Arabian peninsula is left blank as Europeans had very little geographic knowledge about the region at this time. With the exception of Mecca and Medina, all of the named places are coastal. Coloured. [MEAST4280] |
