This is a 16th century hand-colored map entitled "Persia" by Gerard Mercator and Henricus Hondius, published in Amsterdam in 1579. It is focused on the modern day Iran and includes the Caspian Sea, the Persian Gulf and portions of the Arabian Sea, northern India, modern day Pakistan, Saudia Arabia, Qatar and Afghanistan. There is a decorative strapwork title cartouche in the lower right.
This beautifully hand-colored map is presented in a speckled sage colored wood frame with gold colored inner and outer trim and a light tan mat. It is glazed with reVue UV conservation glass. The frame measures 9.63' high, 11.63" wide and 0.75" deep. The visible portions of the map measure 3.38" high and 4.5" wide. There is a small hole and adjacent short tears in the lower right, but the map is otherwise in very good condition.
