This beautiful map is the northern sheet of Delisle's important mapping of the Caspian Sea from the surveys of Karl van Verden from 1719-21. Relief is shown pictorially and the sea is crossed with rhumb lines and centered on a large compass rose. Sheet includes three inset maps and is attractively embellished with a title and advertisement cartouches, one bedecked with dragons.
