Henry Teesdale was a British map publisher and engraver who is known for producing maps in the early 19th century. In 1834, he published a map titled "The Ancient Persian Empire" as part of his work on historical and geographical maps.

This map likely depicted the extent and boundaries of the ancient Persian Empire, which was one of the most significant empires in antiquity, known for its vast territorial holdings, including regions of modern-day Iran, Iraq, parts of Turkey, and other neighboring areas. The Persian Empire, also known as the Achaemenid Empire, was founded by Cyrus the Great in the 6th century BC and lasted until the conquests of Alexander the Great in the 4th century BC.

Henry Teesdale (1776-1856) was a prominent English cartographer and map publisher during the early 19th century. He is best known for his work in producing and publishing detailed and accurate maps. Teesdale's maps covered various regions and time periods, making them valuable resources for historians, geographers, and travelers of his era.

One of his most notable publications was "A New Map of the World on the Globular Projection" in 1829, which was considered an impressive and innovative map for its time. This map was notable for its use of the globular projection, which aimed to represent the Earth's surface more accurately than earlier map projections.

Teesdale also published numerous other maps and atlases, often collaborating with other cartographers and engravers. His maps covered a wide range of subjects, including world maps, maps of individual countries and regions, and historical maps.

While Henry Teesdale's work may not be as well-known today as some other cartographers of his time, his maps and atlases remain valuable historical documents for understanding the geography and cartography of the 19th century.
