It also connected to a speculative Glacial Sea. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/CaspianRevolution-delisle-1792>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/CaspianRevolution-delisle-1792 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/CaspianRevolution-delisle-1792 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/CaspianRevolution-delisle-1792 450.00 USD Tue, 04 Jun 2013 16:18:00 +0000 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/ArabiaPersiaIndia-anville-1751"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/ArabiaPersiaIndia-anville-1751-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> A monumental and highly detailed 1751 map of India, Persia, and Arabia by the French cartographer Jean Baptiste Bourguignon d'Anville.

Lapie�s 1832 map of Asia. In the early 19th century Asia was coming under increasingly imperial european sway. In India full British rule allowed england to attain naval and trade supremacy throughout the eastern hemisphere. Using India as a springboard, the english the traded wool and Indian cotton for Chinese tea and textile. By the 1830s oversaturation of the Chinese market slackened Chinese demand for most British products. <a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/Asie-lapie-1829>... more</a> </p><br> http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/Asie-lapie-1829 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/Asie-lapie-1829 http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/Asie-lapie-1829 225.00 USD Sun, 24 Mar 2013 00:28:12 +0000 <p><a href="http://www.geographicus.com/P/AntiqueMap/CaspianKamchatka-homann-1725"><img src="http://www.geographicus.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/S/CaspianKamchatka-homann-1725-S.jpg" alt="antique map" title="Antique & Rare Maps" border="0" /></a> One of Homann's most interesting and influential maps, this 1725 map depicts the Caspian Sea and the Peninsula of Kamchatka.
