"Irak Arabi Kurdistan Diarbek Turcomannia Siria e Palestina", Albrizzi/Tirion

Beautifully and boldly engraved copper plate map including eastern Turkey, the Caucasus, Israel through Iraq, with a part of Arabia. From the Black to the Caspian Seas and from the Mediterranean to the Persian Gulf, the area extends south into the Arabian Desert and locates Cyprus, Baghdad, Damascus, Baku, and many more cities in the region. Today's Iraq is made up of several named regions including Irakarabi, Irak Arabi, Turcomania and Kurdistan to name a few. A fascinating map that will reward further study. Typical for Tirion, the title is a simple block-style cartouche with three distance scales below.
