Henry Cuthbert Tunison
26 x 33 cm
A vibrant map of the Middle East at the end of the 19th century. The map includes Turkey, the Levant, Arabia, Persia, Afghanistan, and modern-day Pakistan and Turkmenistan. Estimated population figures for each of the regions are provided in a table in the lower-right corner.
Tunison's atlas is known as a transitional atlas as it combines the vibrant colour and decorative borders of mid-19th century American maps with the printing techniques and design elements of the 20th century.
