Description
This map of the Caspian was created by Guillaume Delised and was based on recent information collected by Carl Vanverden in 1719, 1720 and 1721 at the request of tsar Peter I. The first map of the Caspian based on relatively accurate observations of latitude and longitude, Delisle's map changed the way scholars and sovereigns imagined this body of water.
