EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a portion of the direct route between Brusa and Kutahya, dating back to around 1915. The map showcases the journey undertaken by Mark Sykes, a British writer, soldier, and diplomatic advisor during his travels through Turkey (then part of the Ottoman Empire). Sykes explored various regions including Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Persia, and Turkey between 1905 and 1913. During his remarkable life, Sykes served as an honorary attache to the British Embassy in Constantinople from 1905 to 1906. He also worked in the Intelligence department of the War Office during World War I. Sadly, he succumbed to the Spanish flu at just 39 years old. The print is sourced from "The Caliphs Last Heritage: A Short History of the Turkish Empire" written by Lieutenant Colonel Sir Mark Sykes himself in collaboration with Macmillan & Co. , London in 1915. It was published by Macmillan Publishers Ltd. Stanford's Geographical Establishment played a significant role in preserving this historical document for future generations. This image not only highlights specific geographical features but also provides insights into travel routes within Anatolia (Asia Minor) during that era. As we observe this snapshot from history captured on paper by The Print Collector under Stanford's Geographical Establishment's guidance, it serves as a reminder of Sir Mark Sykes' adventurous spirit and his contributions as both an explorer and diplomat amidst turbulent times in Middle Eastern history.
