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)
