This exquisite map print, titled "Empire du Cherif de Fez, Maroc, Sus &c." and dated 1719, offers a captivating glimpse into the Moroccan empire during the early 18th century. The map, from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, provides a detailed and intricate depiction of Morocco's geography, with a focus on the regions of Fez, Maroc, and Sus. The map's central feature is the representation of the Atlas Mountains, a mountain range that stretches from northwest Africa through Algeria and Tunisia. The Atlas Mountains are depicted in stunning detail, with their peaks and valleys accurately rendered. The Sahara desert, to the south, is also shown, its vast expanse of sand dunes and oases contrasting sharply with the mountainous terrain to the north. The Moroccan empire at this time was ruled by the Alaouite dynasty, with the city of Fez serving as the spiritual and cultural center of the kingdom. The map reflects the empire's political divisions, with various provinces and territories labeled in intricate detail. The map also includes several notable cities, such as Marrakech, Rabat, and Tangier, as well as important landmarks, such as the Strait of Gibraltar and the Rif Mountains. The map's intricate detail and accurate representation of the geography of Morocco during this period make it an invaluable resource for historians, geographers, and anyone interested in the history of North Africa. The map's beautiful and ornate design, with its use of intricate cartouches and detailed border, adds to its aesthetic appeal and makes it a true work of art. Overall, this map print offers a fascinating glimpse into the Moroccan empire during the early 18th century, a time of political and cultural significance in North African history.
