[4618]

Milas (Mylasa), Choiseul-Gouffier, anno 1790 CHOISEUL-GOUFFIER, Marie Gabriel F. A., Comte de. Tombeau pres de Mylasa. (Milas) Paris. 1790 Handsome plate of a ruined hilltop tomb with square corinthian columns at Mylas, near Bodrum in Turkey. This plate is from Volume I of Choiseul-Gouffier's Voyage Pittoresque, a cartographic survey of the Mediterranean and an account of his tour (with the artist, J.B. Hilair) of Greece, the Greek islands, and the coast of Asia Minor. Size: 32x51 and 22x35 cm.. Little brownish and little tears on margins. Good print, surface clean. Milas (ancient Mylasa Μύλασα) is an ancient city and the seat of the district of the same name in Muğla Province in southwestern Turkey. The city commands a region with an active economy, and the region is very rich in history and its remains, the whole territory of Milas district containing a remarkable twenty-seven archaeological sites of note. The city was the first capital of ancient Caria and of the Anatolian beylik of Menteşe in medieval times. There was a Jewish community. The centre of Milas presents the overall characteristics of a well-grown city focused on agricultural and aquacultural processing, related industrial activities, services, transportation (particularly since the opening of Milas-Bodrum Airport), tourism and culture. The center is at a distance of about twenty km from the coast and is actually closer to the airport than Bodrum itself, with many late arrival passengers of the high season increasingly opting to stay in Milas rather than in Bodrum where accommodation is likely to be difficult to find.
