Description:
This early 20th-century Ottoman Turkish map of Australia and Oceania, published in 1927, comes from Teceddüd Mekteb Atlası authored by Osman Mükerrem İsmail. Produced during the final years of the Ottoman script era, the map reflects both the continuity of traditional Ottoman cartographic styles and the influence of modern geographical education in the early Republican period.

Its detailed design and educational purpose make it a valuable addition for collectors of late Ottoman and early Turkish Republic cartography.
