This atlas, also known as the Üsküdar Atlas, was a part of the Nizam-ı Cedid (New Order) movement put into effect during the reign of Selim III in order to change the state structure of the Ottoman Empire, which was becoming cumbersome. Aspiring to show that they caught up with the new cartography techniques, the empire adapted 25 maps from William Faden’s General Atlas, publishing them with Mehmet Rauf’s treatise İcalet-ül Coğrafiye (Manual of Geography). One of these maps stands out among the others with its envisagement. In contrast to the other 24, this drawing does not represent the sublunar globe but depicts the zodiac, reminding readers of the relationship between planetary imagination, the Earth, and mythology.
