Jean-François Pérouse and Feza Günergun (eds.), Entre Trois Mers. Cartographie Ottomane et Française des Dardanelles et du Bosphore
Abstract
In recent years, major exhibitions have given rise to excellent companion volumes, and this book is a perfect example. In Izmir, from May to the end of July 2016, the Institut Français d’Études Anatoliennes and the Arkas Art Centre organized an exhibition on Turkish and French cartography of the Dardanelles and the Bosphorus between the 16th and the 19th century. The Turkish Straits between Europe and Asia, which are particularly important, consist of the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmara, and the Bosphorus. Hence the title Entre Trois Mers. The Bosphorus which is about 30 km long, connects the sea of Marmara with the Black Sea in the north, and the Dardanelles, which are about 64 km long, connect the Sea of Marmara with the Aegean Sea in the southwest
