Europe & Turkey backwards! 1719 Mallet antique hand colored map Alaska small chipping at right edgeEurope, Mediterranean, Turkey in Asia, north African coast. Issued 1719, Frankfurt for Mallet. Original early 18th century antique miniature map. Engraved with nice hand color. Fascinating map depicting Europe and Turkey Asia backwards! Its as if the engraver copied the maps directly as he saw them printed, thus resulting in them being printed backwards as seen. Very strange indeed, a genuine cartographic curiosity. Light surface soiling or spotting,
