Gehistoriseerde kaart van Australië en Nieuw-Guinea

Abstract

From a collection of so-called 'Crusader Maps' – modern Turkish interpretations of Western and Ottoman maps made for the tourist market. The maps are painted on much older folios taken from handwritten books; the verso sides are still in their original condition and contain old Ottoman script. The collector Kok bought these cards as curiosities in the Grand Bazaar in Istanbul.
