A highly decorative and detailed mid 19th century map of ‘Turkey in Europe’ (The Balkans: northern Greece, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Albania, Serbia, Bosnia-Herzogovina, southern Romania) which was drawn and engraved by J. Rapkin (vignettes by H. Warren & J. Rogers) and published in John Tallis’s Illustrated Atlas (London & New York: John Tallis & co, c.1851).

Illustrated are views of the Bosphorus and Constantinople (Istanbul), Ali Pasha and a Greek Caloyer.
