Ottoman Anatolia Natolia 1683 Mallet miniature map hand color warrior cartouche

Natolie.

(Eurasia, Ottoman Empire, Anatolia, Cyprus, Soldiers, Black Sea, Crimea).

Issued 1683, Paris, for A.M. Mallet. 

Charming 17th century copper engraved map with lovely hand color. A large scene across the bottom depicts warriors, banners and title within a strapwork cartouche.

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.
