About the Item

Antique Map of Cyprus (Cypern) from Meyer's Lexikon, Leipzig, circa 1890 This finely detailed antique map titled "Cypern" presents the island of Cyprus as it appeared in the late 19th century. It was published around 1890 by the Bibliographisches Institut in Leipzig as part of Meyers Konversations-Lexikon, one of the most comprehensive German-language encyclopedias of the time. Printed in chromolithography, this map is visually striking with soft pastel colors and clear typography. It shows the full extent of Cyprus with excellent geographic accuracy for the period. Key cities and towns such as Nikosia (Lefkosia), Larnaka, Limassol, Famagusta, and Kyrenia are labeled, along with smaller villages and significant mountain ranges such as the Troodos. District capitals are underlined per the legend in the upper left, and the topography is carefully rendered with hill shading to illustrate elevation. The map is marked with latitude and longitude (based on Greenwich and Paris meridians) and features both German and transliterated Greek place names, reflecting the cartographic conventions of the time. Water bodies like Bai von Morphu, Bai von Famagusta, and Bai von Akrotiri are also indicated. A precise scale is provided in both English miles and kilometers (1:1,150,000), and a legend clarifies typographic conventions. This map is an excellent example of late 19th-century European geographical scholarship, capturing Cyprus during the British administration (which began in 1878) while still retaining German naming conventions from its continental publication.
