Panorama de Constantinople. 1880s. Panorama comprising 8 albumen prints. Each circa 22 x 16 cm (entire size circa. 22 x 134 cm). Mounted to original boards, joined at the folds with linen tape, housed in the original burgundy half-leather and canvas portfolio with embossed title and ornamentation. With unidentified dedication in ink on rear endpaper.

Taken from an elevated vantage point in Galata - likely near or from the Galata Tower - this carefully sequenced panorama forms a sweeping vista of the city’s historic waterfront. Landmarks such as the Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Süleymaniye Mosque, Yeni Cami, Nuruosmaniye Mosque, and the distant Beyazit Tower appear in rich architectural detail, along with the shoreline of the Bosphorus and the densely layered urban fabric of the old city. – Boards slightly toned; portfolio slightly faded and worn. Some prints slightly faded in edges, some soiling in sky area, otherwise in good condition.
