CLUVERSOLD

CHERSONESI quae hodie ANATOLIA

Cluver, Philipp

London, c. 1697

20 x 25 cm.

A map of Turkey, from an early eighteenth century printing of Philipp Cluver’s Introductio in
Universam Geographicam. The map is ostensibly a map of the Anatolian peninsula in the
classical period, as almost all of the place names, regions, and other geographical details
are ancient rather than modern. In the top right corner, the title banner is held up by a
putto.
