Panorama de Constantinople pris de la Tour de Galata. Circa 1880. Panorama consisting of 10 albumen prints. Each circa 25 x 33,5 cm (entire size circa 25 x 340 cm). Mounted to original boards, bound together with linen tape at folds, in original red canvas portfolio with gilt-stamped title and ornament.

An unusually large panorama taken from the Galata Tower, offering a sweeping view across the Bosporus from the Asian shore of Üsküdar to the Topkapi Palace, extending over the Golden Horn and into the western quarters of the city. – Boards slightly toned with light foxing spots; portfolio slightly soiled and worn, spine professionally repaired. Some foxing, especially in sky areas; some areas slightly faded; red stain to upper corner of second board; otherwise in very good condition with strong contrasts.
