A map of Greece with modern day borders shown. The border between Greece and the Ottoman Empire, as it stood in 1848, is drawn and labelled in dark red.
Lovely project but it is the 1849 trip that really interests me as I work in the Argolid and have been chasing further details for some time. I am aslo intereted in the Nubia trip and have collected quite a lot of data on that.
