Leaflet - Folium : Creating a fantasy map, removing the world map

I'm trying to create an interactive map out of an image using Folium as part of a Django project in which I want to display the generated HTML on a website. I want to be able to see only the image upon which I place markers etc., not the actual world map that is by default created. The image is a map of a fantasy world.

I found this tutorial and tried to apply it to Folium and that generally worked. I'm essentially adding an Image Overlay with "my" map to a map-object. However, that does not remove the original real-world map, meaning when I then save this map, it still also displays a world map that I do not care about in the lower left corner attached to my image overlay.

import folium

def create_aldrune_map():
    base_map = folium.Map(crs='Simple', zoom_start=4)

    aldrune_overlay = folium.raster_layers.ImageOverlay(
        image='Path/To/Image',
        bounds=[[0, 0], [1000, 1300]],
        zindex=1)
    aldrune_overlay.add_to(base_map)
    base_map.fit_bounds(bounds=[[0, 0], [1000, 1300]])

    base_map.save('Path/To/Output')

Aldrune's Map How do I get rid of the real-world map?

Let me quote from the Folium documentation, emphasis mine:

class folium.folium.Map(location=None, width='100%', height='100%', left='0%', top='0%', position='relative', tiles='OpenStreetMap', (snip) , **kwargs)

Parameters

tiles (str, default 'OpenStreetMap') – Map tileset to use. Can choose from a list of built-in tiles, pass a custom URL or pass None to create a map without tiles. For more advanced tile layer options, use the TileLayer class.

Therefore you probably want something like:

base_map = folium.Map(crs='Simple', zoom_start=4, tiles=None)
