This wonderful map of the surrounding countries in The Black Sea was produced by O.W. Gray as part of his “Grays Atlas of the United States with General Maps of the World accompanied by descriptions Geographical, Historical, Scientific, and Statistical”. Gray’s name appears on maps as early as 1869 and his mapping appears to end in 1890. Maps produced by Gray are exceptionally engraved and beautifully hand-colored. It has become difficult to keep up with the demand for his maps. Details on these maps include major cities, rivers, land contours of mountains or other ranges, and countries or counties are separated by colored blocks. There is a small inset of The Bosphorus and vicinity showing Constantinople. The explanation details an Etymological Explanation of various prefixes, terminations, and formative syllables of many names on the map.
