This handsome map of Greece gives excellent detail of the surrounding islands and extends to include part of Turkey. Cities, ruins, castles, monasteries, and more are identified throughout. A large inset at bottom left depicts a bird's-eye view of Istanbul straddling the Bosphorus. The Lion of St. Mark, a symbol of Venice, appears in the Gulf of Venice. The map is adorned with a strapwork distance scale and an allegorical title cartouche featuring a Turkish soldier imprisoning Cybele, goddess of towns, and a male figure, while a putto wipes away tears. The map is dedicated to Alexander Urquhart.
