"Carte de Perse, dressee pour l'usage du Roy" was created by Guillaume Delisle in 1724. This map, translated as "Map of Persia, prepared for the use of the King,"

Guillaume Delisle held the title of Premier Géographe de Sa Majesté (First Geographer to the King) and was a member of the Académie Royale des Sciences in France.

The map is highly regarded as an important cartographic work from the early 18th century. It was designed specifically for Louis XIV, the King of France at the time, and reflects Delisle's meticulous approach to mapping. Delisle's maps were known for their accuracy, attention to detail, and use of scientific methods in cartography.

The "Carte de Perse" by Guillaume Delisle provides a comprehensive representation of the region of Persia (modern-day Iran) during that era, including geographical features, cities, political boundaries, and other relevant information. As a first edition, it holds historical and collectible value.

He emphasized the use of empirical data and rigorous research to create detailed and reliable maps. Delisle's work marked a shift from the speculative and decorative maps of earlier periods to a more scientific and precise style.

His maps covered various regions, including Europe, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Some of his notable works include the "Carte de la Louisiane et du cours du Mississippi" (1718), which was one of the earliest accurate maps of the Mississippi River and the Gulf Coast, and the "Carte d'Asie" (1723), a detailed map of Asia based on the latest explorations and geographical knowledge.

Guillaume Delisle's maps had a significant impact on the development of cartography and were highly influential in shaping the geographic understanding of the time. His maps are still sought after by collectors and researchers today for their historical and artistic value.
