"Carte de la Coste d Arabie Mer Rouge et Golfe de Perse Tiree de la Carte Francoise de l'Ocean Oriental...", Bellin, Jacques Nicolas

This attractive map of Arabia and the Red Sea emphasizes the coastlines and the interior is primarily left blank. The shoals and navigational hazards in the Red Sea and the pearl banks off the coast of Bahrain are also noted. The Persian Gulf is depicted too wide and too far north. The map is nicely decorated with a title cartouche and a compass rose.
