Original antique copper engraving, hand colored in outline and wash when published. Antique map of the Ottoman Empire. It is bordered on the west by the west coast of Turkey, on the east by the Persian Gulf, on the north by the Black Sea and on the south by the Nile Delta. The components of the Ottoman Empire are shown in great detail and individually colored, while adjacent regions are only outlined. In the upper right corner is the simple title cartouche, at the top left a legend explaining the characters used and at the bottom left the scale in geographical, Persian, French, Arabic, Turkish, English and Italian miles.
