"Carte de la Turquie de l'Arabie et de la Perse Dressee sur les Memoires les Plus Recens Rectifiez par les Observations de Mrs. de l'Academie Royle. des Sciences", Delisle/Covens & Mortier

Superb map of the Ottoman Empire stretching from the Balkans through present-day Turkmenistan in the north and including Northeastern Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. The map is boldly engraved, packed with information and decorated with a fine title cartouche. Delisle's maps of the Middle East were some of the most accurate early maps published until the end of the 18th century.
