Antique 1866 Turkey, Persia, Asia order & Middle East Map by Johnson and Ward – Middle East, Africa, Israel, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Oman

Beautiful, antique map of Turkey in Asia, Persia and Arabia, with three illustrations: Muscat, Trebisond (Trebizond) and Smyrna. This is an authentic engraving from Johnson and Ward's 1866 Edition Atlas (Plate #95).

See what the Middle East looked like over 155 years ago in the early 1860's, when many of the countries still had ancient place-names. Lots of charming, intricate details and geological contours, including mountains, islands, counties and rivers. Hand colored. Verso is a chronological history of The Great Rebellion, aka the American Civil War.

Perfect for the historian, map-lover, the curious or just as a conversation starter. Wonderful and rare. Vintage maps such as these make great gifts.
