HOMANN, J.B. - Imperium Turcicum in Europa, Asia et Africa.

Johann Baptist Homann's well-engraved map of the Turkish Empire shows the journey from Tunis to Arabia, including Greece, Arabia, Turkey, and Palestine.

It has good detail in the Arabian Peninsular and a fine decorative title cartouche at the bottom left inside the stone slab, surrounded by figures of the Eastern and Western worlds.

Johann Baptist Homann (1663-1724) was a German engraver and publisher who established himself and his family as perhaps the most famous German map publishers. Following his death in 1724, the business continued under the name Homann Heirs . This Homann map is finely engraved and in its original wash color with an uncolored cartouche.
