Antique map titled 'Embdena (..)'. Old, antique bird's-eye view plan of Emden, Germany. This bird's-eye view from the southwest over the Dollart shows Emden, which developed from a trading settlement in the 7th/8th centuries into a city as late as late 14th century. In 1494 it was granted staple rights, and in 1536 the harbour was extended. In the mid-16th century Emden's port was thought to have the most ships in Europe. Its population then was about 5,000, rising to 15,000 by the end of the 16th century. The Ems flowed directly under the city walls, but its course was changed in the 17th century by the construction of a canal. Emden has canals within its city limits, a typical feature of Dutch towns, which also enabled the extension of the harbour. Emden's first herring company was founded in 1553, and in 1595 Emden was created a Free Imperial City under the protection of Holland. Published by Braun...

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...
