This map illustrates the expansive Ottoman Empire at the end of the 18th century, extending from Spain south to Abissinia (Ethiopia) and east to Western India. Dozens of countries are outlined and named, and mountains are shown in profile and shading. Both the Black and Caspian seas are included, with a road network shown east of the Caspian Sea. This was published in Charles Theodore Middleton's A New and Complete System of Geography..., published between 1777-82. This is the first state with date in title and imprint above the neatline at top.
