TURQUIE en ASIE.

Attractive map of Turkey and surrounding lands, from Greece to the Caspian Sea and south to Arabian border. Maps by Sanson in original colour are rare. Nicolas Sanson was founder of the French school of mapmakers, at a time when the leadership in European cartography passed from the Low Countries to France. This map was published in Bion’s treatise on globes. Nicolas Bion was a famous French mathematical and scientific instrument maker.

Very good condition. Small (1cm.), faint library stamp in margin, just touching map border but not affecting image.
