Turquie d’Asie et les Provinces du Caucase Map, Ottoman Empire 1873 A finely engraved and beautifully hand-colored French map titled “Turquie d’Asie et les Provinces du Caucase,” published in 1873. This elegant nineteenth-century map depicts the Ottoman territories of Asia Minor and the broader Near East, extending from Anatolia and the eastern Mediterranean to the Caucasus, Mesopotamia, Syria, Armenia, Kurdistan, and parts of Persia. The map is executed in the refined French cartographic style of the later nineteenth century, combining delicate engraving with soft original hand coloring that distinguishes provinces and administrative regions across the Ottoman Empire and neighboring territories. The visual balance between the pale pastel tones and the intricate geographic detail gives the sheet a sophisticated decorative quality highly suitable for framing. Asia Minor and Anatolia dominate the composition, while important historic and strategic cities including Constantinople, Smyrna, Trebizond, Aleppo, Damascus, Mosul, Baghdad, and Tiflis are carefully identified. The Caucasus region is shown in remarkable detail, reflecting the growing geopolitical importance of Armenia, Georgia, Circassia, and the Russian frontier during this period. Mountain systems, rivers, caravan routes, and coastal geography are elegantly rendered throughout. A particularly attractive feature is the vignette at lower left depicting vessels on the Nile near Egypt, adding a subtle romantic element to the otherwise scholarly composition. The Mediterranean, Black Sea, and Persian frontier frame the map beautifully and reinforce its broad geographic scope connecting Europe, the Levant, Arabia, and Central Asia. This map strongly appeals to collectors interested in Ottoman history, Middle Eastern cartography, the Caucasus, Armenia, and nineteenth-century European views of the Near East. It also works exceptionally well as a decorative statement piece in interiors inspired by travel, archaeology, orientalism, or classical libraries. The map displays beautifully in a dark walnut, ebonized, or gilt frame with a wide ivory mat, where the soft hand coloring and elegant typography become especially striking. Condition: Good antique condition with age-related toning and occasional light foxing. Original center fold as issued. Minor handling wear and faint discoloration consistent with age. Please study image carefully. Special note: This is an original antique map, not a reproduction. All items we offer are authentic period works of art over 100 years old. The piece is sold unframed; any framed images are shown for presentation and interior inspiration only and may not always be to scale.

Diana of the Ephesians Antique Engraving, Montfaucon Antiquité Expliquée 1721 This original early eighteenth-century copper engraving depicts the famed Diana of the Ephesians (Artemis of Ephesus), one of the most recognizable and symbolically rich cult images of the ancient world. The plate originates from Bernard de Montfaucon’s monumental antiquarian publication *L’Antiquité expliquée et représentée en figures*, published in Paris in 1721, a foundational scholarly work that systematically documented classical antiquities and helped establish archaeology as an academic discipline. Montfaucon’s encyclopedic project sought to gather visual knowledge of ancient civilizations through carefully engraved illustrations based on surviving sculptures, coins, manuscripts, and earlier collections. This engraving presents the Ephesian Artemis in her distinctive archaic form: a rigid frontal figure crowned with a mural headdress, arms extended, and a body covered with symbolic registers. The multiple rounded forms across the torso—traditionally interpreted as fertility attributes—reflect the goddess’s role as a universal mother and protector of nature. Bands of animals, mythological creatures, and sacred motifs reinforce her association with cosmic order, fertility, and the natural world. Unlike the athletic huntress Artemis familiar from Greek sculpture, the Ephesian Diana represents an older Anatolian cult tradition absorbed into Greco-Roman religion. The engraving therefore documents not only a sculpture but also Enlightenment-era attempts to understand ancient religious symbolism through comparative study. Montfaucon’s precise linework and balanced composition exemplify the refined craftsmanship of Parisian copperplate engraving during the early 18th century, combining scholarly accuracy with strong decorative appeal. Today, engravings from L’Antiquité expliquée are highly regarded by collectors of classical antiquity, archaeology, and early academic illustration. The graphic symmetry and sculptural clarity make this image particularly suitable for interiors ranging from traditional libraries to contemporary gallery walls. This original antique engraving is offered unframed, allowing flexibility to select a frame that best suits the intended interior. Condition: Good antique condition with age-related toning and light discoloration to the paper, consistent with early eighteenth-century prints. Minor edge wear and handling marks confined mainly to the margins. Plate impression visible. Blank verso. Framing tips: A dark walnut or ebonized frame with a wide ivory mat enhances the classical presence of the figure. For a modern interior, a slim black frame with generous mat spacing creates a museum-quality presentation emphasizing the engraving’s symmetry.

TITLE: Antique Map of Cambridgeshire & Cambridge by Joan Blaeu, Hand-Colored, 1645 DESCRIPTION: A highly decorative 17th-century map of Cambridgeshire by the great Dutch cartographer Joan Blaeu, one of the leading mapmakers of the Dutch Golden Age. Titled “Cantabrigiensis Comitatus, Cambridge Shire,” the engraving presents Cambridge, Ely, Newmarket, Wisbech and the surrounding fenland in remarkable detail. The map is especially attractive for its extensive heraldic decoration and its historic depiction of the Isle of Ely before the fenland landscape was fully transformed by later drainage. Rich contemporary hand-coloring, heightened with gilt, further enhances the elaborate coats of arms and beautifully engraved county boundaries. At the centre of the county lies Cambridge, already renowned throughout Europe for its university. The decorative borders incorporate numerous heraldic arms associated with Cambridge and its historic colleges, including King’s College, Trinity Hall, Pembroke Hall, Corpus Christi College and St John’s College. These colorful armorial panels make the map particularly appealing for collectors with a connection to Cambridge, its university or the long history of learning associated with the city. To the north, Blaeu prominently marks “The Ile of Ely,” reflecting Ely’s distinctive position within the historic fenland landscape. Before the great drainage schemes transformed this part of eastern England, Ely rose above extensive surrounding wetlands, giving rise to its traditional description as an island. Nearby places including Wisbech, Littleport, Soham and Stretham preserve the geography of this low-lying country of rivers, marshes and causeways. The map also records Huntingdon, St Ives, St Neots, Peterborough and Newmarket. Newmarket Heath is clearly identified to the southeast, an interesting early reference to the area that would become internationally famous for horse racing. One of the pleasures of this antique map is its combination of recognizable modern locations with historic place-name forms. The Latinized title, elaborate heraldry, finely engraved settlements and strong original coloring give the sheet both considerable historical interest and exceptional decorative appeal. An excellent example of Blaeu’s celebrated English county cartography and an impressive original antique map for a library, study, university collection or sophisticated interior.
