EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching from 1730, titled "Map of the Middle East: Turkish Empire, Persia and Arabian Peninsula" takes us on a visual journey through the intricate geography of the region. Created by Guillaume de L'Isle, a renowned French cartographer, this map offers a glimpse into the political landscape of the time. The delicate lines and intricate details showcase De L'Isle's mastery in capturing geographical accuracy. The map encompasses vast territories including present-day Turkey, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Jordan, Yemen and parts of Greece and Libya. It provides an invaluable historical record of these regions during the 18th century. As we explore this ancient world through De L'Isle's eyes, we are transported to a time when empires ruled over diverse cultures and landscapes. The Turkish Empire dominates much of the map with its sprawling borders stretching across Anatolia and beyond. We can also trace the Persian influence in what is now modern-day Iran. Beyond political boundaries lie rich topographical features such as rivers snaking their way through arid deserts or lush valleys nestled between towering mountains. This meticulous attention to detail invites us to appreciate not only the political significance but also the natural beauty that defines this part of our world. Luisa Ricciarini has skillfully preserved this historical treasure for future generations to admire. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, it serves as a reminder that maps are not just tools for navigation but
