About the Item
The "Vintage Cartographic Gem: 'Turkey in Asia' with Mosul Environs and Assyrian Ruins Inset" is an original antique map from W. G. Blackie's esteemed 1859 publication, 'The Imperial Atlas of Modern Geography'. This map offers a detailed and historically significant representation of the Asian part of the Ottoman Empire, known as 'Turkey in Asia', during the mid-19th century.
Key features of this map include:
1. **Geographical Detail**: The map meticulously details the Asian territories of the Ottoman Empire, covering a vast area that includes modern-day Turkey, parts of the Middle East, and extending towards the Caucasus. It displays the region's diverse topography with mountains, rivers, plains, and coastal areas.
2. **Inset Map of Mosul and Assyrian Cities**: A unique feature of this map is the inset detailing the environs of Mosul, a historically significant region in present-day Iraq. This inset likely provides a closer look at the area, including the locations of ancient Assyrian cities and ruins, which are of great archaeological and historical interest.
3. **Political Divisions**: The map shows the administrative divisions of 'Turkey in Asia' as they were recognized in the 1850s, providing insight into the historical political landscape of the region.
4. **Cities and Settlements**: Major cities, towns, and villages are marked, highlighting the key urban centers of the time. This aspect offers a glimpse into the urban and rural settlement patterns in the Ottoman Empire's Asian territories.
5. **Artistic Elements**: In line with the cartographic style of the era, the map likely includes decorative borders, an elegant title script, and possibly other artistic flourishes that add to its aesthetic appeal.
6. **Educational and Historical Value**: As a historical document, this map serves as an invaluable educational tool, offering insights into the geography of 'Turkey in Asia' as perceived in the mid-19th century.
This map is not only a collector’s item for enthusiasts of antique maps but also a significant resource for historians, geographers, and those interested in the Ottoman Empire and Middle Eastern history.
