A scarce two-sheet map of the Turkish Empire

A large-format map of the Turkish Empire, showing the complete Mediterranean and Europe up to southern England. A large title cartouche features figures paying tribute to the sultan, designed by Philip Tideman and engraved by Willem van den Gouwen. This map was first published by Visscher in 1698; this example was published after the Viisscher plates were sold up after the death of Nicolas's widow Elizabeth in 1726.
