Title
Johnson's Turkey in Asia Persia Arabia & Co.
Description
English: A very nice example of A. J. Johnson’s 1862 map of Arabia, Persia and Turkey in Asia. Covers from the Mediterranean and Egypt eastwards as far as the Mouths of the Indus River, as well as southward as far as the Horn of Africa and northwards to the Black Sea. Depicts most of the politically volatile modern day middle east, including the nations of Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel, Syria, Lebanon and Turkey. Offers color coding according to country and region as well as notations regarding desert caravan routes, oases, roadways, river systems, forts and monasteries, and some topographical features. Three inset views decorate the map: Muscat (lower left), Trebisond (lower left) and the Castle and Port of Smyrna (lower right). Features the strapwork style border common to Johnson’s atlas work from 1860 to 1863. Published by A. J. Johnson and Ward as plate number 89 in the 1862 edition of Johnson’s New Illustrated Family Atlas . This is the first edition of the Family Atlas to bear the Johnson and Ward imprint.
