About the Item
Title: Antique Map of Greece and the Cyclades, 1903, with Intricate Detail and Inset Maps
Description: This antique map, titled "Greece with Its Islands, Including the Cyclades," was engraved and published in 1903 by W. & A.K. Johnston in Edinburgh and London. It provides an exquisite depiction of Greece and its surrounding islands, capturing the stunning geography and complex political landscape of this historically rich region at the start of the 20th century.
The map’s delicate pastel coloring in shades of pink, green, and yellow highlights the boundaries of Greek provinces, showing major cities, rivers, and mountain ranges with precision and clarity. Key areas such as the Peloponnese, Thessaly, Epirus, and Central Greece are detailed, offering insight into a landscape shaped by millennia of history and mythology.
Inset maps of Corfu & Paxo and the Cyclades offer additional detail, emphasizing the maritime and cultural importance of these islands in the Aegean and Ionian Seas. The Cyclades inset, in particular, is a visual highlight, capturing the unique charm and interconnectedness of these legendary islands.
For collectors, historians, and lovers of Greek culture, this map is more than a decorative item—it is a portal into the classical and modern heritage of Greece. It reflects a time of national revival and modernization, when Greece was emerging as a unified state with a proud and storied past.
