EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured print, titled "The Turkish Empire in Europe, Asia and Africa, 1736" takes us back to a time of great exploration and discovery. Created by the talented cartographer Hermann Moll, this map showcases the vast dominions of the Ottoman Empire along with other territories under its influence. Measuring an impressive 64x101 cm, this historic piece is housed in the New York Public Library's collection. It forms part of Moll's larger work entitled "The world described or A new and correct sett of maps shewing the kingdoms and states in all known parts of the earth". The intricate details on this print provide viewers with a comprehensive understanding of not only political boundaries but also important cities such as Jerusalem, Constantinople (now Istanbul), Smyrna (now Izmir), and even Morocco. With pictorial relief techniques employed throughout, this artwork offers a three-dimensional perspective that brings these regions to life. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back to an era when empires reigned supreme and trade routes connected distant lands. Dedicated to Thomas Vernon and published by Thomas Bowles in St Pauls Churchyard, London; this print serves as both a historical document and a testament to Moll's skillful craftsmanship. Its presence reminds us of how cartography played an essential role in shaping our understanding of the world during times when exploration was at its peak.
