Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original pictorial wrappers. Chromo-lithographed photo-montage collage cover with seven b/w photos of African buildings and natives, and a red map of Africa. Complete in wrappers and folded huge Africa map (size: 57 x 82 cm). Cover size: 28.5 x 20.5 cm. In Turkish. Scale: 1/20,000,000. A very rare chromo-lithographed Africa map, prepared for the geography lessons about foreign countries in Turkey in 1930. The map shows the territories of the African continent, which was still politically under European colonialism as of the 1930s. It includes Rio de Oro (Spanish territory), Fas [i.e. Morocco], Algeria, Sahara, Cameroon (French territories), Trabulus [i.e. Libya] as Italian territory; and Liberia, Egypt, East Sudan, Eritre [i.e. Eritrea], Habesistan [i.e. Ethiopia], Somali, Kenya, Belgian Kongo, Angola, Mozambique and South African land including Rhodesia (equivalent in the territory to modern Zimbabwe), Transvaal, The Orange Free State [Oranje-Vrystaat], Natal and Kap [Cape] with Madagascar. An extra panel for the same scale map showing the Suez Canal, Nile Delta, and North Egypt in the lower-left corner. Duran studied in Istanbul and Paris. He worked as a geography teacher in various high schools and afterward he undertook the positions of lecturer and administrator in Ankara Gazi Education Institute for a time. He was known for his writings on various topics and particularly for his works on geography. Born in the imperial period, Duran conducted the first cartographic studies of the Republic of Turkey after the transition to the Republican administration. Sealed. Slight foxing. Otherwise a fine copy. Not in OCLC.
Very Good French Original decorated map. Hand-coloured. Oblong elephant folio. (54 x 76 cm). In French. Shows Greece, Archipelago, Isle de Candie, Asia Minor (Western side), and East Mediterranean. Delisle od de l'Isle was a French cartographer known for his popular and accurate maps of Europe and the newly explored Americas. At 27, Delisle was admitted into the French Académie Royale des Sciences, an institution financed by the French state. After that date, he signed his maps with the title of "Géographe de l'Académie". Five years later, he moved to the Quai de l'Horloge in Paris, a true publishing hub where his business prospered. Delisle's progress culminated in 1718 when he received the title of Premier Géographe du Roi. He was appointed to teach geography to the Dauphin, King Louis XIV's son, a task for which he received a salary. Again, his father's reputation as a man of science probably helped the younger Delisle. Historian Mary Sponberg Pedley says, 'once authority was established, a geographer's name might retain enough value to support two or three generations of mapmakers'. Delisle's case, it could be said that his accomplishments surpassed his father's. Up to that point, he had drawn maps not only of European countries, such as Italy, Spain, Germany, Great Britain, Poland, and regions such as the Duchy of Burgundy, but he had also contributed to the empire's claims to recently explored continents of Africa and the Americas. Like many cartographers of his day, Delisle did not travel with the explorers. He drew maps mostly in his office, relying on a variety of data. The quality of his maps depended on a solid network to provide him first-hand information. Given his family's and his own reputation, Delisle had access to fairly recent accounts of travellers who were returning from the New World, which gave him an advantage over his competitors. Being a member of the Académie, he also kept current with recent discoveries, especially in astronomy and measurement. When he could not confirm the accuracy of a source, he would indicate it clearly on his maps. For instance, his Carte de la Louisiane shows a river that the baron of Lahontan claimed he discovered. As no one else could validate it, Delisle noted a warning to the viewer that it might not exist. (Source: Wikipedia). Tooley, p.43.
