Description
Interesting antique chart of the Caspian Sea, considered by many to be the world's largest lake, located between Europe and Asia. This 340 year old copper-plate engraving by Olivier Dapper (d. 1690) is presented in the style of a nautical chart with numerous rhumb lines and a central compass rose at center. No soundings, aids-to-navigation or danger areas are identified, which is consistent with the intended use of the work to inform the general reader, and definitely not intended for navigation of the Caspian Sea.
