About the Item
Title: Antique Map of Turkey in Europe, 1903, with Delicate Pastel Coloration
Description:
This antique map, titled "Turkey in Europe," was engraved and published in 1903 by the distinguished cartographic firm W. & A.K. Johnston in Edinburgh and London. It presents a detailed and colorful depiction of the Balkan Peninsula and the territories of the Ottoman Empire in Europe, as well as neighboring regions including Rumania, Serbia, Montenegro, and Bulgaria.
The map is carefully hand-colored in soft pastel shades of green, pink, and yellow to delineate the shifting political boundaries of the time. Major cities, rivers, mountain ranges, and railway lines are all clearly marked, offering a fascinating glimpse into the complex and dynamic geography of this region at the dawn of the 20th century.
A notable feature is the inset map of "Crete or Candia," providing additional detail on this historically important island. The precision and artistry of Johnston’s engraving highlight the rich cultural and historical landscape of the Balkans, a region that has long been a crossroads of empires and civilizations.
For collectors, historians, and those with an interest in Balkan history, this map offers a window into a time of great political and social change, reflecting the ambitions and challenges of the Ottoman Empire and its neighbors. Its elegant composition and refined coloring make it a beautiful and informative piece suitable for display in any setting.
Condition report:
The map is in very good antique condition, with minor foxing and gentle toning at the edges typical for its age. The colors remain vibrant and the paper well-preserved.
Framing tips:
A classic dark wood frame in walnut or mahogany will add depth and sophistication to the piece. Use a cream or off-white matting to highlight the pastel coloring and detailed engraving, creating a timeless and refined focal point in any home, study, or office.
