About the Item

This 19th-century map from the atlas published by Blackie and Son in 1882 is titled "SYRIA (NORTH DIVISION)" and covers the northern part of Syria, capturing its geographical and administrative divisions during the late Ottoman period. The map's scope extends from the Mediterranean Sea in the west, stretching eastward into the expanse of the Syrian Desert, and from the region's northern boundaries down to its central parts. Color-coded boundaries distinguish the various districts, with topographical features such as mountain ranges and valleys depicted using hachures. The map meticulously charts cities, towns, and villages, and denotes major rivers and bodies of water, reflecting the detailed cartographic practices of the era. The coastline along the Mediterranean is clearly outlined, with ports and coastal cities highlighted, signifying their historical importance as hubs of maritime trade and cultural exchange. A key feature of the map is the inclusion of historical and biblical references, such as the route of the Apostle Paul’s journey, which underscores the region's rich historical and religious significance. It also indicates caravan routes, which were vital for commerce and communication across the vast desert regions. The map reflects a time of imperial influence and exploration, where such maps were crucial for navigation, administration, and understanding the complexities of the region's landscape and political territories. It is a window into the past, illustrating how the region was perceived and documented by Western cartographers in the Victorian era. The precision and detail in this map serve as a testament to the advanced state of geographical knowledge and cartographic skill during the 19th century.
