Description
A very detailed panoramic view of Terki in the Caucasus, the capital of one of the most powerful Dagestani potentates of Southeast Asia.
Showing the Volga River.
The town of Terek was a stronghold serving the expansion of the Russian state in the North Caucasus and the Western Caspian region; its location made it an important military and strategic point on the southern outskirts of the country. Administratively, it belonged to the Astrakhan region and had its own governor, who, in turn, was subordinate to the Astrakhan governor.
Pieter Vander Aa (1659 - 1733)
Van der AA began his career in Leiden in 1683 as a Latin trade publisher, publishing classical texts on medicine and science. His publications include: Naaukeurige versamling der gedenk-waardigste zee en land-reysen 1706, Atlas Nouveau 1710, and Galerie Agreable du Monde.
After 1700, van der Aa increasingly specialized in geography and travel books.
He published composite atlases, a series of geographical descriptions of European countries, and some spectacular works. Between 1706 and 1708, he published the Naauweurige versameling der gedenkwaardigste zee- en land-reysen, in 28 volumes.
Many of Van der Aa’s publications are richly illustrated with maps and plates. He took over many copperplates and prints from other publishers such as Carel Allard and Frederik De Wit.
The composite atlases from his workshop contain a curious mixture of his own material, copies of maps from other publishers, and reprints from old copper plates, now bearing his imprint.Â
The Galérie agréable du monde, was completed in 1729, and comprised 66 parts, bound in 27 volumes. Van der Aa presented it as a good investment; after publication, the work's antiquarian value would double, all the more so since it was printed in a limited edition of only 100 copies.

We use the following color keys in our catalog:
Original colors; mean that the colors have been applied around the time the map was issued.
Original o/l colors; means the map has only the borders colored at the time of publication.
Colored; If the colors are applied recently or at the end of the 20th century.
