Photographer: Guillaume Berggren (1835-1920). Panorama of Constantinople. 1870s. Panorama consisting of 9 albumen prints, mounted to boards as leporello. Each between 19 x 16,5 and 19 x 20 cm (entire size: 29,5 x 184,5 cm).

Taken from an elevated vantage point in Galata, likely at or near the Galata Tower, this panoramic view presents a sweeping survey of Constantinople’s historic waterfront. The Bosporus shoreline and the Golden Horn frame the densely layered cityscape of the Historic Peninsula, with major monuments - including the Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, Süleymaniye Mosque, Yeni Cami, Nuruosmaniye Mosque, and the Beyazit Tower - clearly articulated within the broader urban fabric.
