This is Heinrich Berghaus's groundbreaking 1832 map of the Persian Gulf, identified by historian Cyrus Alai as 'the most detailed' map of the Gulf. Significantly, it is the earliest printed map to name Abu Dhabi (Abuthubbi / Bûthabîn / أبوظبي). The map was part of Berghaus's seminal Atlas von Asia, a loose-leaf collection of highly detailed regional maps of Asia, each an individual masterpiece of cartographic achievement. (more details)
