EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a section of the route from Diarbekir to Sivas and Sivas to Sinope in Turkey, during the early 20th century. The map shows the journeys of Mark Sykes, a British writer, soldier, and diplomatic advisor who traveled extensively through Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Persia, and Turkey between 1905 and 1913. Mark Sykes was not only an honorary attache to the British Embassy in Constantinople but also served as a Member of Parliament. During World War I, he worked in the Intelligence department of the War Office before tragically succumbing to the Spanish flu at just 39 years old. The map is marked with altitude readings above sea level using aneroid measurements. It showcases Anatolia's geographical features such as mountains along Sykes' routes through Asia Minor within the Ottoman Empire. Published by Macmillan & Co in London in 1915 as part of "The Caliphs Last Heritage" written by Lieutenant Colonel Sir Mark Sykes himself (the sixth baronet), this historical document provides valuable insights into both Turkish history and early scientific advancements in altitude measurement. This print is courtesy of Stanford's Geographical Establishment and The Print Collector via Heritage Images. It serves as a testament to Mark Sykes' remarkable travels across diverse landscapes while shedding light on his significant contributions to politics and diplomacy during a critical period in Middle Eastern history.
