Measuring 23 × 19.3 cm, the map presents a wide geographical view including Siberia, Russia, China, and Japan, reflecting the expanding geographical awareness within the Ottoman intellectual world of the 19th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"563\" data-end=\"940\"\u003eThe atlas itself is considered among the earliest examples of Ottoman educational cartography, created with the purpose of introducing modern geographic knowledge to students. At a time when the Ottoman Empire was actively reforming its educational system, works like this played a crucial role in bridging traditional learning with contemporary European scientific approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1043\" data-end=\"1575\"\u003eMustafa Hami Pasha, originally a military physician (Mirliva) and a graduate of the Mekteb-i Tıbbiye-i Şahane, was a prolific and versatile Ottoman intellectual. He authored more than thirty works across disciplines such as medicine, military science, and education. In preparing this atlas, he drew extensively from French geographical sources, adapting Western cartographic techniques into an Ottoman educational framework. This synthesis of knowledge is clearly visible in the structure, clarity, and geographic scope of the map.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1577\" data-end=\"2003\"\u003eBeyond its educational function, this piece stands as a rare and insightful document illustrating how a 19th-century Ottoman scholar perceived the broader world, particularly the vast northern territories dominated by Russia. It offers collectors not only a visually appealing cartographic artifact but also a meaningful representation of intellectual exchange, modernization, and the Ottoman engagement with global geography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"690\" data-end=\"709\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(171, 27, 24);\"\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1904\" data-end=\"1948\"\u003e• Type: Ottoman printed map\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1950\" data-end=\"1999\"\u003e• Title: Asya-i Şarki (Eastern \/ Northern Asia)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2001\" data-end=\"2034\"\u003e• Source: Sağir Coğrafya Atlası\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2036\" data-end=\"2066\"\u003e• Author: Mustafa Hami Pasha\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2068\" data-end=\"2095\"\u003e• Date: 1284 AH (1867 AD)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2097\" data-end=\"2131\"\u003e• Place of Publication: Istanbul\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2133\" data-end=\"2178\"\u003e• Language: Ottoman Turkish (Arabic script)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2180\" data-end=\"2273\"\u003e• Region Depicted: Siberia, Russia, China, Japan and surrounding Northern Asian territories\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2275\" data-end=\"2303\"\u003e• Dimensions: 23 × 19.3 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2305\" data-end=\"2402\"\u003e• Cartographic Context: Early Ottoman educational atlas influenced by French geographic sources\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2404\" data-end=\"2535\"\u003e• Historical Significance: Demonstrates the adoption of Western cartographic methods in Ottoman education during the 19th century\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2537\" data-end=\"2679\"\u003e• Collectible Significance: Rare example of early Ottoman school atlas mapping Northern Asia and reflecting Ottoman geopolitical perspective\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turkrex Collectables","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47987365642378,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/3687\/7450\/files\/1_97f51536-4e97-4b89-87dd-ffbd73e06f3b.jpg?v=1775806139","url":"https:\/\/turkrexcollectables.com\/products\/northern-asia-1867-ottoman-atlas-map-ottoman-empire-russia-japan-siberia","provider":"Turkrex Collectables","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
