This finely detailed 1838 map by Prussian cartographer Ferdinand von Stülpnagel depicts European Turkey (the Balkan Peninsula under Ottoman rule) extending from northern Greece to the mouth of the Danube River. Published by Justus Perthes in Gotha for Stieler's Hand-Atlas, the map displays the complex geopolitical landscape of the Balkans during the early 19th century, covering regions such as Macedonia, Rumelia, Bulgaria, Serbia, Bosnia, Wallachia, Moldavia, and Albania. Geographic features are rendered with exquisite precision, using fine hachuring to represent mountain ranges, river networks, and intricate coastal configurations along the Aegean, Adriatic, Marmara, and Black Seas. Hand-colored outlines delineate regional boundaries, while extensive German place-names mark key cities, towns, fortresses, and historical provinces across the region.

Condition: Light age-toning and minor foxing predominantly along the outer wide margins.. Faint dampstaining and minor discoloration along the far left margin edge, not affecting the printed map area.. Very clean, strong plate impression with intact original hand coloring.
