More Information
A lovely example of Rigobert Bonne's c.1778 decorative map of Turkey in Asia. Covers from Egypt north to Crimea and from Crete and the Dardanelles east to the Persian Gulf and Georgia. Includes the modern day nations of Turkey, Syria, Cyprus, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Kuwait, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Ukraine. Also notes the disputed lands of Armenia and Kurdistan. Remarkably, this map actually notes the stunning Armenian church on Lake Van's Akdamar Island.
decorative baroque title cartouche appears in the upper left quadrant. Drawn by R. Bonne for issue as plate no. 25 in Jean Lattre's Atlas Moderne.
