Description: Fine, original, steel-engraved Map of Turkey II. Containing the Northern Part of Greece, by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. A very decorative map which shows Turkey in Southeast Europe with the Northern parts of Greece. The map has small place names, rivers and many regions. The regions on this map are Karlali, Lepanto, Negropont, Trikhala, Kelbingo, Monastir, etc. At the lower left corner is the title and below the mileage scale. The SDUK began its map publishing project under the leadership of Captain Francis Beaufort R.N. in 1829, and published the maps in parts, haltingly, over the next 15 years, completing the series in 1844, finally permitting the publication of a whole atlas. Many of the maps were actually drawn by Beaufort, who at the time was the Hydrographer to the Royal Navy, and all were closely supervised by him. J. & C. Walker worked closely with Beaufort in engraving the maps. Finely engraved, delicately colored, carefully researched, the maps set a standard of excellence for commercial map-makers in England for decades to come. Dimensions 16 1/4" x 13 1/2" overall. Minor soiling in right margin, otherwise excellent.
