Ottoman Turkish Map – United Kingdom (ca. 1910s)

Description:
An Ottoman Turkish map of United Kingdom, likely extracted from an early 20th-century Ottoman atlas (ca. 1910s). The map measures 22.1 × 17.5 cm and depicts United Kingdom together with its borders, showing surrounding regions of Ireland, Scotland, Netherlands.

While the exact source atlas is not identified, stylistically it is consistent with Ottoman atlases of the early 20th century, which sought to present both the Empire’s territories and broader world geography to an educated readership.

This map reflects the Ottoman intellectual and cartographic interest in European geography, and serves as a rare survival from the period when world atlases in Ottoman Turkish were still printed in Arabic script before the alphabet reform.

• Date: ca. 1910s (exact atlas unidentified)

• Dimensions: 22.1 × 17.5 cm
