"Magni Turcarum Dominatoris Imperium per Europam, Asiam, et Africam...", Seutter, Matthias

This striking map covers the Turkish Empire, extending to Greece, Arabia and Libya, with the Caspian and Black Seas and the eastern Mediterranean. The map is a close copy of Visscher's map from 1690, and is filled with details of towns, rivers and mountains. There are a number of geographical errors, such as Yemen (Iemeni Princ) located in Oman, and Oman (Omanae Princ) located in the middle of the desert. The gorgeous, large title cartouche featuring the emperor, merchants, soldiers and a lion was engraved by Abraham Drentwet, Jr.
