€ 400.00

Detailed map of Anatolia, removed from Bowen's world atlas "A Complete System of Geography" (1747). Emanuel Bowen (ca. 1694-1767) created some of the finest and visually most satisfying maps of the century. The present map shows the Asian part of Turkey bordered by the Black Sea to the north and the Mediterranean to the west and south, along with portions of Syria, Persia, Armenia, Kurdistan and the governments of Mosul and Baghdad. Includes the island of Cyprus with Paphos, Nicosia, and additional place names. Rich in detail, the chart labels numerous towns and settlements including Constantinople, Bursa, and Smyrna, as well as mountains, lakes, rivers, tracks and ruins.

Very well preserved.
