Antique map titled 'Hongrie, Turquie Europe'.
Decorative map of Hungary, southeast European countries in the Balkan peninsula and Greece by Robert de Vaugondy, revised and published by Delamarche. Source unknown, to be determined. Artists and Engravers: Made by 'Charles Francois Delamarche' after an anonymous artist. Charles Francois Delamarche (1740-1817) founded the important and prolific Paris based Maison Delamarche map publishing firm in the late 18th century. A lawyer by trade Delamarche entered the map business with the acquisition from Jean-Baptiste Fortin of Robert de Vaugondy's map plates and copyrights and later addes many plates from other sources as well. Charles Delamarche eventually passed control of the firm to his son Felix Delamarche (18th C. - 1st half 19th C.) and geographer Charles Dien (1809-1870). It was later passed on to Alexandre Delamarche, who revised and reissued several Delamarche publications in the mid-19th century. The firm continued to publish maps and globes until the middle part of the 19th century.

Genuine Antique Map of European Turkey by Pierre Antoine Tardieu (1784-1869)
Located in Langweer, NL
This is an original antique map titled "Carte de la Turquie d'Europe," which depicts the European territories of the Ottoman Empire. The map features detailed geographical and political boundaries, showcasing various regions, cities, rivers, and mountains within the Ottoman European territories. The map was created by Pierre Antoine Tardieu, a renowned French engraver, steel engraver, and cartographer known for his high-quality work.
Map Details:
- **Title**: Carte de la Turquie d'Europe
- **Creator**: Pierre Antoine Tardieu (1784-1869)
- **Publication Date**: Early 19th century
- **Dimensions**: Approximately 34.5 x 43.5 cm (13.5 x 17.25 inches)
- **Features**: The map includes a detailed representation of the European territories of the Ottoman Empire, with place names, rivers, mountains, and regions clearly marked. The title cartouche is located in the upper left corner, and the mile scale is presented in the lower left.
Around the year 1800, the region referred to as "European Turkey" or "Ottoman Europe" was a significant part of the Ottoman Empire, which was one of the most powerful empires in the world at the time. Here are some key aspects of European Turkey during this period:
### Geographic Scope
European Turkey included a large part of Southeastern Europe, encompassing modern-day:
- Greece
- Bulgaria
- Romania (specifically the regions of Dobruja and parts of Wallachia)
- Serbia
- Albania
- Montenegro
- Bosnia and Herzegovina
- Parts of Croatia, Macedonia, and Hungary
Political Structure
- **Ottoman Administration**: The region was governed by the Ottoman administrative system, which divided territories into provinces (vilayets) and smaller administrative units (sanjaks). Each province was overseen by a governor (pasha) appointed by the Sultan.
- **Autonomy and Vassal States**: Some areas within European Turkey had varying degrees of autonomy or were vassal states. For example, Wallachia and Moldavia (in modern-day Romania) were vassal principalities that retained local rulers under Ottoman suzerainty.
Society and Demographics
- **Ethnic Diversity**: The region was extremely diverse, home to numerous ethnic groups, including Turks, Greeks, Bulgarians, Serbs, Albanians, Vlachs (Romanians), and Jews, among others.
- **Religious Diversity**: There was significant religious diversity, with Islam being the dominant religion due to Ottoman rule, but large Christian (Eastern Orthodox, Roman Catholic) and Jewish populations coexisted.
Economy
- **Agriculture**: The economy was largely agrarian, with agriculture being the primary occupation. Key crops included grains, tobacco, and cotton.
- **Trade and Commerce**: European Turkey was strategically important for trade, connecting the Mediterranean with Central Europe and the Black Sea. Major cities like Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul), Thessaloniki, and Belgrade were key commercial hubs.
Culture
- **Cultural Influence**: The region was a melting pot of various cultures, influenced by Byzantine, Slavic, and Ottoman traditions. This mix was reflected in architecture, cuisine, music, and customs.
- **Education and Language**: The official language of administration was Ottoman Turkish, but many local languages were spoken. Education was often conducted in religious institutions, with different communities maintaining their own schools.
Challenges and Conflicts
- **Internal Strife**: The Ottoman Empire faced numerous internal challenges, including administrative inefficiency, corruption, and local uprisings.
- **External Threats**: The empire was also under pressure from external forces, particularly from the Habsburg Empire, Russia, and later from nationalist movements within the Balkans, which sought independence or autonomy from Ottoman rule.
Decline of Ottoman Power
By 1800, the Ottoman Empire was experiencing a gradual decline, which would intensify throughout the 19th century. This period saw increasing nationalist sentiments among various ethnic groups within European Turkey, leading to uprisings and eventual wars of independence, such as the Serbian Revolution (1804-1835) and the Greek War of Independence (1821-1829).
Overall, European Turkey around 1800 was a complex and diverse region under the Ottoman Empire's waning control, characterized by a rich tapestry of cultures, economic activities, and political structures.
Condition Overview:
1. **Paper Quality**: The map exhibits signs of aging, such as yellowing along the edges, which is typical for documents of this age. The paper remains in good condition without major tears or damage.
2. **Edges and Corners**: The edges are slightly worn, with minor fraying and a few small tears that do not significantly impact the map's readability or aesthetic value.
3. **Center Fold**: There is a visible center fold, common for maps that were folded for storage or publication. The fold is in good condition without significant wear but with splits on both sidess.
4. **Color and Print Quality**: The colors used to outline the boundaries remain vibrant and clear. The print quality is excellent, with sharp, legible text and detailed illustrations.
5. **Staining and Spots**: There are a few spots and stains, particularly near the edges and along the fold. These do not obscure any critical details of the map.
Historical and Artistic Value:
Pierre Antoine Tardieu was known for his meticulous craftsmanship and contributions to cartography. His work drew the attention of prominent figures such as Alexander von Humboldt...
