"Map of Greece and the Grecian Islands for the Travels of Anacharsis", Barbie du Bocage, Jean Denis

This detailed map of Greece, the islands of the Aegean Sea, and the adjacent coastline of Turkey illustrates the imaginary travels of Anacharsis the Younger in Greece. Crete is shown at the bottom of the map. The map is based on the cartography of D'Anville, whose work Bocage cataloged in the Bibliotheque Nationale. Engraved by T. Cook. This map was published in the English edition of Jean Jacques Barthelemy's Recueil de Cartes Geographiques Plans, Vues et Medailles de l'Ancienne Grece, Relatifs au Voyage du Jeune Anacharsis, first published in French in 1788.
