This very large magnificent original antique map of the Turkish Empire in Europe was published by John Senex for his 1712 edition of Elephant Folio Atlas.

These large scale maps are scarce as damage and loss over time was frequent from both handling and difficulty storing safely. The map has undergone some professional restoration. (Ref: Tooley; Whitfield; M&B)
