Title: "Map of Turcomania, Georgia, and Comania"
This print presents an intricately detailed map of the Caucasus region, titled “Turcomania, Georgien Commanie,” by the esteemed cartographer Nicolas Sanson. Published in 1705, the map's dimensions are 9.3 x 7.5 inches (23.6 x 19.1 cm) and it features hand-applied coloration, enhancing both its clarity and aesthetic appeal. The map provides a comprehensive view of the geography of the Caucasus, with a focus on the areas known historically as Georgia, Armenia, and parts of Turkey and Iran, bordered by the Black and Caspian Seas. It includes depictions of significant cities, mountain ranges, and river systems, offering insight into the region's topography and settlements during the early 18th century. A notable artistic element of the map is the ornate strapwork cartouche that graces the piece. This feature not only serves as a decorative title space but also contributes to the map's overall grandeur, reflecting the style and artistic conventions of the period.
