An interesting view of the Balkans from a commercial and industrial perspective. There is statistical information about all the countries that were incorporated into the Turkish Empire on the top and bottom of the map with 12 attractive vignettes depicting industry native to each country. These include Bosnia, Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria, Albania, Moldavia, Montenegro and Greece among others. The actual map has forts, ports and distribution of vegetables and minerals marked on it.Alexandre Vuillemin (1812-1880) was a cartographer and a book editor based in Paris. Despite a prolific cartographic career, much of Vuillemin's life is shrouded in mystery. What is known is that his studied under the prominent French Auguste Henri Dufour (1798-1865). Vuillemin's most important work is his detailed, highly decorative large format Atlas de Géographie Commerciale et Industrielle, which this map is a part of.

Very good condition; a slight tear in the left centrefold.
