This Victorian map of Eurasia, the Middle East, and Africa by George Philip and Son was part of a series of classical maps focusing on the early history of the world. This one focuses on the spread of Islam and the early conquests by the Prophet Mohammed during the rise of the Caliphate. The pink colouring shows the extent of these early conquests which include northern India, northern Africa, Turkey and Persia.
