"Port of Latachia in Syria from Views in the Ottoman Dominions, in Europe, in Asia, and some of the Mediterranean islands, from the original drawings taken for Sir Robert Ainslie, by Luigi Mayer" is an early 19th-century illustration by the Italian artist Luigi Mayer. Created as part of a larger collection of artworks, this piece depicts the coastal scenery and bustling activity of the port of Latakia (historically referred to as Laodicea), which was an important maritime and commercial hub within the Ottoman Empire's Syrian territories.

The illustration is notable for its detailed representation of the port's architecture, vessels, and daily life during the Ottoman period. Luigi Mayer, known for his detailed landscapes and architectural views, was commissioned by Sir Robert Ainslie, who served as the British ambassador to the Ottoman Empire from 1776 to 1792. Mayer's works, including the "Port of Latachia," were later engraved and published in a volume that provided Europeans with some of the earliest visual documentation of the Ottoman Empire's diverse regions.

The "Port of Latachia" serves as a valuable historical record, offering insights into the cultural and economic conditions of early 19th-century Syria under Ottoman rule. It reflects the era's fascination with Orientalism and the growing interest in documenting and understanding the lands beyond Europe's borders. The artwork is part of a tradition of travel literature and art that aimed to capture the exotic landscapes and customs of the East, contributing to the West's perception and knowledge of these regions during a time of expanding global interaction.
