"Genealogie des anciens Empereurs Tartares, descendus de Genghiscan"

Large antique copper engraved genealogical chart, reflecting the historical lineage of the Tartar emperors descending from Genghis Khan, by Henri Abraham CHATELAIN (1684-1743). It includes names and connections, illustrating the vast network of kinship stemming from Genghis Khan. The map provides a geographical context, showcasing the expanse of the empire. It includes significant landmarks such as the Caspian Sea and other notable geographic features of Central Asia. The focus on Genghis Khan and his descendants reflects the fascination with the Mongol Empire's historical impact and its vast territorial reach. It not only provides a visual representation of the Mongol Empire's geographical extent but also traces the lineage of its rulers, offering a comprehensive view of the empire's historical and cultural legacy. The map and genealogical chart together serve as a valuable resource for understanding the complex history of Central Asia and the enduring influence of the Mongol Empire.

Henri Abraham Chatelain (1684-1743) was a parisian Huguenot pastor. 

His famous work is the "Atlas Historique", published in seven volumes. Originally published in Amsterdam between 1705 and 1720 by L'Honoré et Châtelain, L'Atlas Historique was corrected, increased and republished until 1739, the date of the fourth and last edition. This encyclopedic work explains the history and the genealogy of the continents, with the geography, cosmography, topography, heraldry, and ethnography. The text is from Nicolas Gueudeville, a French geographer. Henri Chatelain represents the golden age of French cartography.
