It took me 39 years to upload a map that I worked on, beginning in 1974. 2 days years ago meticulously inking the roads and a few hours today , scanning the large original, digitally cleaning and adding notes. I indicated the shores of Halic/Golden Horn as it indicates the extent of the advancement of the shoreline. Talk about historic land grab.The map shows a unique moment just before the major fires during early19th century and city pattern that I meticulously inked in years ago. If you see the wooden houses map of 1918 you can guess the devastation.
I will not post a thumbnail image, since it is a gift to my followers, you must open it by downloading and seeing it for yourself. In this form use it any way you like and create derivative works, like coloring the bostans (city gardens/field) or cemetaries.
