✶✶✶ Unique Old Map Reproduction ✶✶✶

Map of Damascus, year 1912

Explore the rich history of early 20th‑century Syria with this 1912 colour tourist map of Damascus and its surroundings, produced by the renowned Leipzig‑based cartographic firm Wagner & Debes.

Originally published for Karl Baedeker’s celebrated travellers’ handbooks, this map offers a finely detailed look at Damascus and its immediate environs, capturing the historic city layout, major roads, rivers, key neighbourhoods, and surrounding geographical features.

The map highlights Damascus’ central districts and broader regional connections, making it an exceptional example of pre‑World War I Middle Eastern cartography.

Sourced from the 1912 edition of Palestine & Syria, with routes through Mesopotamia and Babylonia and the Island of Cyprus, this map remains a valuable historical artefact—perfect for collectors, researchers, and admirers of Levantine history. It also makes a striking decorative piece suitable for framing.

Engraved & printed by Wagner & Debes, Leipzig. Drawn by H.Kiepert
