"États du Grand-Seigneur en Asie, Empire de Perse, Pays des Usbecs, Arabie et Égypte" is a map created by Robert de Vaugondy in 1753. It depicts the regions under the control or influence of the Ottoman Empire (also known as the Grand Seigneur) in Asia, including the Empire of Persia (modern-day Iran), the territories of the Uzbeks (present-day Uzbekistan and parts of Central Asia), Arabia, and Egypt.

During the 18th century, the Ottoman Empire was a dominant power in the Middle East and controlled vast territories in Asia, Africa, and Europe. The map shows the extent of the Ottoman Empire's influence in the regions mentioned.

The Empire of Persia refers to the Safavid dynasty, which ruled over Persia from 1501 to 1736. The Uzbeks were a Turkic ethnic group that established various khanates in Central Asia, including the Khanate of Bukhara and the Khanate of Khiva. Arabia represents the Arabian Peninsula, which was predominantly under Ottoman control during that time. Egypt was also a part of the Ottoman Empire, and it remained under Ottoman rule until the early 19th century.

Maps like "États du Grand-Seigneur en Asie, Empire de Perse, Pays des Usbecs, Arabie et Égypte" were essential tools for understanding the geopolitical landscape of the time and were commonly used for administrative, military, and navigational purposes. They provided valuable information about territorial boundaries, political divisions, and the extent of the Ottoman Empire's domain in the regions depicted.

The most notable members of the de Vaugondy family were Gilles Robert de Vaugondy (1688-1766) and his son, Didier Robert de Vaugondy (1723-1786). Gilles Robert de Vaugondy was a geographer and cartographer who served as the geographer to the French king, Louis XV. He was also a member of the Académie Royale des Sciences.

Didier Robert de Vaugondy, the son of Gilles, continued his father's work and became one of the leading cartographers of his time. He is best known for his collaboration with his father on the production of several important maps and atlases, including the Atlas Universel, which was first published in 1757 and went through several editions.

The maps and atlases produced by the de Vaugondy family were highly regarded for their accuracy and attention to detail. They were known for their use of the latest geographic information and their adherence to scientific principles in mapmaking. Their works covered a wide range of areas, including Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas.
