“An Accurate Map of ASIA MINOR as Divided into its Provinces before it became possess’d by the Turks…”
Emanuel Bowen (1714-1767) was a London print and mapseller who achieved considerable success with his detailed maps. Particularly noteworthy among these are his British road maps, his map of the American colony of Georgia and his depiction of Bermuda.
This crisply delineated map focuses on modern day Turkey as it extends from the Sea of Mamora on the northeast, to the Black Sea in the north, Armenia, “Turkomania, Assyria and Meopotamia” in the west and the Mediterranean Sea in the south. The map also includes a section of the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria and the Sea of Azof in Ukraine and Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel and portions of the western most parts of Iraq and Saudi Arabia, extending south to the mouth of the Nile in Egypt. Good depiction of Cyprus.
