Title: 'Carte de L' Empire des Turcs en Asie et en Afrique ...'

A superbly engraved large map of the region from the Mediterranean to the Indian Ocean. With descriptive text, scale and latitudes and longitudes of the major cities.

A map from the fifth volume of: 'Atlas Historique...' (Historic Atlas...), Published by Zacharie Chatelain, Amsterdam, 1732. The atlas was published in seven volumes between 1705 and 1720, with a second edition appearing in 1732. The maps were accompanied by information pertaining to cosmography, geography, history, chronology, genealogy, topography, heraldry, and costumes of the world. The maps in the Atlas Historique were mainly based on those of the French cartographer, Guillaume De L'Isle, but were presented by the Chatelains in an encyclopaedic form.

In excellent condition.
