Van Verden, Carl (sold)
Carl Van Verden (fl. c. 1718 - 1730) was a Dutch seaman in the employ of the Russian Navy during the early 18th century. Van Verden is best known for his important 1719 - 1721 mapping of the Caspian Sea, which was the most sophisticated and accurate that had been issued to date. A significant cartographic achievement, Van Verden's work on the Caspian led directly to Peter the Great's 1722 invasion of Baku and Derbent and Russian hegemony in the region. Despite his achievements in the Caspian, Van Verden was later passed up by the Tzar in favor of Vitus Behring for the commission to discover a Northeast Passage through the Russian Arctic.

One of Johann Christoph Homann's most interesting and influential works: his 1725 map of the Caspian Sea, and an extremely up-to-date map of Kamchatka. Two maps in one, it juxtaposes two opposite parts of Asia: the Caspian Sea at the western border of Asia and Europe, and the Peninsula of Kamchatka, the easternmost known point in continental Asia.
