Marmara and Black Sea Ottoman Map 1916 (1332)

Description:
This is an original Ottoman map sheet from Safvet Geylangil’s Coğrafya-i Osmani, published in 1332 AH (1916 AD). The page features two separate regional maps on a single sheet: one of the Marmara Region and another of the Black Sea (Karadeniz) Region. Measuring 22 x 15.4 cm, the maps are printed in Ottoman Turkish and served as part of an educational geography book designed to teach students about the provinces of the late Ottoman Empire.

Safvet Geylangil’s Coğrafya-i Osmani is considered one of the key Ottoman geography works of the early 20th century, produced at a time when the empire was in its final years. The maps within are not only cartographic references but also historical documents reflecting the administrative and geographic understanding of the Ottoman state in 1916.
