Ottoman Anatolia Turkey Black Sea Asia Minor Soldiers Flags 1683 Mallet map

Natolie.

(Asia, Asia Minor, Anatolia, Ottoman Empire, Turkey, Cyprus, Black Sea, Constantinople, Ottoman Soldiers, Flags).

Issued 1683, Paris, for A.M. Mallet. 

Charming and decorative 17th century copper engraved miniature map with lovely hand color.

The image has a near folk-art feel, a style unique to this historical era. Utterly unlike anything produced today and of modern aesthetic appeal for this reason.

Mostly clean and well preserved example, the image displays a fine patina.

Sheet measures c. 7 7/8"H x 5 7/8"W.

Printed area measures c. 5 1/2"H x 4"W.
