EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate routes traveled by British writer, soldier, and diplomatic advisor Mark Sykes in Asiatic Turkey between 1905 and 1913. Created by Stanford's Geographical Establishment, this map provides a visual representation of Sykes' extensive journeys through Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Persia, and Turkey. Mark Sykes was an honorary attache to the British Embassy in Constantinople from 1905 to 1906 before being elected to parliament. During the First World War, he worked in the Intelligence department of the War Office. Tragically, his life was cut short at the age of 39 when he succumbed to the Spanish flu. The map is featured in "The Caliphs Last Heritage" a short history of the Turkish Empire written by Lieutenant Colonel Sir Mark Sykes himself and published by Macmillan & Co in London in 1915. With its vibrant colors and detailed geographical features including rivers like Euphrates and Tigris as well as seas such as Black Sea and Mediterranean Sea, this print offers a glimpse into a significant era marked by colonialism and exploration. Stanford's Geographical Establishment has beautifully captured not only Sykes' remarkable journey but also the vastness of Asia Minor with its rich historical context. This image serves as both an informative resource for scholars studying this period and a visually stunning piece that transports viewers back to early twentieth-century Asia.
