Antique Map of Turkey in Asia (Asia Minor and Transcaucasia), 1903

About the Item

Antique Map of Turkey in Asia (Asia Minor and Transcaucasia), 1903, with Intricate Provincial Borders This antique map, titled "Turkey in Asia (Asia Minor) and Transcaucasia," was engraved and published in 1903 by the distinguished W. & A.K. Johnston in Edinburgh and London. It offers a beautifully detailed depiction of the western regions of Asia, encompassing modern-day Turkey, the Caucasus, and parts of the Middle East, all delicately shaded in pastel colors to highlight political boundaries. The map features major cities, rivers, mountain ranges, and key trade routes, offering a fascinating look at the region during a time of dynamic political and cultural change. It covers a vast area, from the shores of the Mediterranean and Black Seas to the Caspian Sea and the rugged mountains of the Caucasus, reflecting the complex geography and cultural diversity that have always defined this region. Notable features include the ancient regions of Anatolia, Armenia, Georgia, and Mesopotamia, areas steeped in history and crucial to the cultural and economic exchanges of empires past. The inset detailing the Mediterranean and surrounding seas further emphasizes the maritime connections that linked these lands to Europe and beyond. For collectors, historians, and those with a passion for Middle Eastern and Caucasian history, this map is more than a visual artifact—it is a window into a world of ancient civilizations and modern ambitions, captured with the precision and artistry of Johnston’s cartographers.
