Description
English: This is a rare and unusual 1738 map of the Balkans by J. Ratelband. Likely revised and updated from earlier charts by the De La Feuille family. Depicts from modern day Albania (Dalmatia) eastward through Bosnia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Rumania to the Black Sea (Pontus Euxinus). Extends south as far as modern Greece and includes parts of Asia Minor in the lower right quadrant. Prominently labels the cities of Constantinople (Istanbul, Andrinopoli, Belgrade, and Sophia. Curiously the location of the ancient city of Troy is also labeled with considerable accuracy considering that it was supposedly “lost” until Heinrich Schliemann “discovered” it in 1870. Dutch title cartouche in the lower left quadrant. This map was originally prepared for inclusion as chart no.
