Ottoman Turkish Map – Yemen Vilayeti 1906

Description:
A rare Ottoman Turkish map of Yemen Vilayeti, published in Mehmed Eşref’s Umum-i Vilayet-i Şahane’yi Havi Küçük Atlas. This atlas, printed in 1325 AH (1907 CE), included a 32-page brochure in Ottoman script and 128 maps (some composed of two parts), printed on thick paper and loosely inserted after the text. Many of these maps represent the first and possibly only Ottoman depictions of these regions.

The map measures 13.3 × 8.9 cm and shows the city of Mecca and surrounding areas. At the time, this region was part of the Ottoman Empire; today it includes parts of Yemen and Saudi Arabia.

This map is an important example of early 20th-century Ottoman cartography and reflects the Empire’s geographic knowledge and educational practices.
