EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "The Turkish Empire" takes us on a journey back in time to the year 1627. Created by John Speed, a renowned cartographer of his era, this hand-colored engraving showcases the vastness and grandeur of the Ottoman Empire. Measuring at an impressive 42.1x29 cm, this piece is housed in the prestigious Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the United States. Its intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life ancient Anatolia and its surroundings. The map highlights key features such as Turkey's stunning lakes and seas, including the Bosphorus Strait that connects Europe with Asia. Istanbul (formerly Constantinople) stands out prominently as one of the empire's most significant cities. A beautifully designed cartouche adorns this historic artwork, adding an extra touch of elegance to its overall composition. As we gaze upon it, we are transported to a time when Eastern culture flourished under Ottoman rule. "The Turkish Empire" not only serves as a testament to John Speed's exceptional talent but also offers valuable insights into Middle Eastern history. It reminds us of the rich heritage and influence that once emanated from this powerful empire. Thanks to Fine Art Finder and Bridgeman Art Gallery for preserving this remarkable piece for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
