Heinrich Kiepert (1818 - 1899) was a German geographer. Asia Minor was an area in which he took particular interest. He visited it four times in 1841-8; and his first map (1843-1846), together with his Karte des osmanischen Reiches in Asien (1844 and 1869), formed the highest authority for the geography of the region.Picture from an 100 years old encyclopedia book.
