First separate edition of this rare and attractive chromo-lithographic map of the Imperial Ottoman lands in Europe, as well as the Bosphorus and Crete in separate panels, drawn by Turkish infantry major El-Hac Nasrullah b. El-Hac Nâsir from Daghestan, during the last period of the rule of Sultan Abdulhamid II, with praise to the Sultan.

Average. Wear along original folds. Some loss at junction of folds. Light soiling. Several tears around edges professionally repaired. Size 25 x 34.75 Inches. A scarce map of Ottoman Europe, produced by military officer al-Hac Nasir al-Dagistani and published in 1906 by Mahmud Bey Matbaasi. It displays the remaining European portion of the Ottoman Empire, which was severely imperiled at the time, and most of which would break away in two wars in the Balkans that directly preceded World War I (1914 - 1918). A Closer Look Covering the Balkans from the Adriatic to the Black Sea, this map highlights the remnant European portions of Ottoman Europe in the early 20th century, before the two Balkan Wars. Administrative borders are illustrated and labeled, as are mountains, waterways, major roads, railways, cities, and other features. An inset at the bottom-left displays the Bosporus, while a legend at the right explains the symbols used throughout. Multiple tables provide information on telegraph and postal codes, distances between major cities, and demographics of the empire's vilayets. An inset of Crete appears at bottom. Despite a movement to do so, the island did not join Greece upon the latter's independence in the early 19th-century. However, repeated revolts against Ottoman rule and foreign intervention forced the Sultan to accept Crete's near de facto independence. Nevertheless, momentum for union with Greece continued, driven by communal violence between Muslims and Christians and the weakening of Ottoman rule overall. In 1906, the year of this map's publication, the island's High Commissioner was deposed. In 1908 Crete joined Greece. Historical Context The Collapse of Ottoman Europe Ottoman control over the Balkans, Greece, and other nearby territories was already in jeopardy in the early 19th-century, and by the end of the 19th-century, many of these territories had achieved independence. Those regions that had not (Albania, Macedonia, portions of modern Greece, and Bulgaria) were underonly nomina l control from Istanbul. Despite the Young Turk Revolution in 1908 and the onset of drastic reforms, the difficulties faced by the Ottomans only increased in subsequent years, and the empire lost nearly all of its European territory by the end of 1913. The destabilization of the region provided opportunities for rival foreign powers to interfere and compete with each other, setting the stage for the First World War. Late Ottoman Cartography As with other elements of Ottoman administrative and intellectual life, in 19th century, the threat of powerful neighbors prompted a comprehensive reexamination of cartographic methods. Along with the Tanzimat reforms in the mid-19th century, came an effort to train cartographers in the latest European surveying methods. Print technology also improved with the development of commercial lithographic printing by the end of the century (the present map is, notably, a chromolithograph). Still, several factors, including limited funding for military and non-military cartographers, somewhat hindered the development of late Ottoman cartography. Chromolithography Chromolithography, sometimes called oleography, is a color lithographic technique developed in the mid-19th century. The process uses multiple lithographic stones, one for each color, to yield a rich composite effect. Generally, a chromolithograph begins with a black basecoat upon which subsequent colors are layered. Some chromolithographs used 30 or more separate lithographic stones to achieve the desired effect. Chromolithograph color can be blended for even more dramatic results. The process became extremely popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when it emerged as the dominant method of color printing. The vivid color chromolithography made it exceptionally effective for advertising and propaganda.
