"Europisch Turkijë. - 10,000,000 inwoners" is a 1850 wood-engraving by Dutch artist Jan Schuitemaker. The print depicts a map of European Turkey with numbered locations, a view of the city of Constantinople with the Almeydan or Meidan, a mountain landscape of Berat, and a Moldavian caravan. It was printed by the firm of J. Schuitemaker in Purmerende, a town near Amsterdam, for the Dutch magazine "Prenten-Magazijn Voor de Jeugd" (Picture Magazine for Youth). The detailed images and accompanying text provided educational value for young readers.
