"Turky in Europe", Moll, Herman

This striking map depicts the Ottoman Empire's holdings in Europe. According to the text below the map, "That Part of Europe now Subject to the Turks, and by their Arbitrary Government, render'd in a great Measure depopulated, was formerly the most considerable of all this Continent, and hath been the Habitation of Nations that made the greatest Figure in Ancient History." The maps spans the Balkans from Hungary, Transylvania, and Moldavia south to Candia (Crete). A key identifies 38 small Grecian islands. Moll's distinctive engraving style is a great favorite among collectors. On a sheet of English text measuring 7.8 x 12.6".
