English: 1812 Malte-Brun Map - Persia Conrad Malte-Brun's Atlas Complet du Precis de la Geographie Universelle , from which this map comes, was published in Paris in 1812 and was one of the best and most up-to-date atlases of the early-19th century. It used charming vignette scenes in the title, a practice to be copied by other French mapmakers and the John Tallis company in England. Malte-Brun, a Danish geographer and publisher who settled in Paris, used French engineer and geographer Alexandre Lapie, as well as engravers Jean-Baptiste Tardieu and Jean-Baptiste Chamouin, in the creation of his atlas. This map has excellent detail and clear engraving. The map includes part of the Ottoman Empire, Persia with the provinces noted (including Kerman, Farsistan, Luristan, Khorasan), Afghanistan ('ou Royaume de Kandahar), the Uzbek territory, Independent Tartary, Little Tibet, Hindoustan. Many towns and cites are noted and t is fine detail to the topography.The map has a scale of distance, and a very decorative title vignette.
