Karamania, or a brief description of the south coast of Asia-Minor and of the remains of antiquity: with plans, views, &c. ; collected during a survey of that coast, under the orders of the lords commissioners of the admiralty, in the years 1811 & 1812
Karamania is a 1817 travel account by Francis Beaufort, a naval hydrographer, recording the Admiralty survey of the south coast of Asia Minor in 1811 and 1812 for a British readership. Its plates include a coastal plan with soundings and bearings, a long panoramic harbour view, and tinted-free line views of fortified walls and castles set against hills and water. A designer could draw on the clean, measured linework of these topographic plates, with their dense labelling, flat horizons and small boats.
