Description
Designed by Mon.sr Sanson Geographer to the French King, and Rendered into English and Illustrated with Figurs By Richard Blome By the Kings Especiall Command.
Top left is a dedication 'To the Right Worshipfull the Governour, Deputy Governour & Court of Assistance of the Company of Merchants Trading into the Levant Seas', which gives a clue to the true meaning of the map. Rather than being just a map of the Turkish dominions it depicts the extents of the trade monopoly of the Levant Company. Founded in 1592, the Levant or Turkey Company's Royal Charter gave them control of Mediterranean trade from Venice eastwards. This originally included the East Indies 'lately discovered', but the founding of the East India Company in 1600 clarified the eastern boundaries of the Levant Company. The Company had trading posts at Constantinople, Smyrna, Aleppo and Alexandria, and the consuls at Constantinople and Smyrna were company men. On his restoration Charles II renewed their charter, under the name 'the Company of Merchants of England trading to the Seas of the Levant’
