About the Item
Ancient Persia, Assyria and Babylon – Willem Albert Bachiene, circa 1760
Antique map depicting the territories of the Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian, Greek, and later Roman Empires. The map covers a wide area including the Persian Gulf, the Tigris and Euphrates river systems, and extending into parts of Mesopotamia, Armenia, and adjacent regions. Stylized mountain ranges, rivers, and settlements are engraved, with seas labeled “De Persische Zee Boezem” (the Persian Gulf) and “De Hyrcanische Zee” (the Caspian Sea).
The elaborate cartouche at the top right frames the title: “De 12e Landkaart vertoonende De Landen der Assyrische, Babylonische, Persische, Grieksche en daarna Romeinsche Heerschappy” It specifies that the map was produced by Bachiene (1712–1783), clergyman and later professor of astronomy and geography at the Illustere School in Maastricht. Bachiene was noted for his historical and biblical maps, intended to accompany theological and historical studies of the Scriptures.
This engraving illustrates the territories described in Biblical and classical sources, designed for educational use in the mid-18th century. It reflects the Enlightenment interest in combining historical geography with moral and theological instruction.
Condition report: Very good for age. Strong impression with visible plate mark. Some toning, faint soiling, and light fold at center, as issued. Minor spots consistent with age. Wide margins present.
Framing tips: A simple dark frame or gilt moulding with an ivory or cream mount highlights the classical subject. A second-line mount in muted green or ochre would echo the historic tone of the piece.
