Constantinople And its Environs

CONSTANTINOPLE AND ITS ENVIRONS

This special work titled "Constantinople and Its Environs," written by Robert Walsh, invites readers on a visual exploration of Istanbul, the capital of the Ottoman Empire, and its surroundings. It is enriched with 97 magnificent engravings drawn by the famous engraver Thomas Allom in 1838.

The book features 97 precious, hand-colored engravings of Turkey, with text authored by Robert Walsh, who lived in Istanbul for many years. Alongside various views of Istanbul, the engravings also include significant ancient cities such as Bursa, Manisa, Izmir, Ephesus, Pergamon, and Pamukkale.

Allom's illustrations are filled with details that reflect the grandeur and history of Istanbul during that period. Each engraving vividly and impressively presents the historical structures, Bosphorus views, and scenes of daily life in Istanbul. As you turn the pages of the book, you will become immersed in the buildings, landscapes, and people, while observing glimpses of the social and cultural life of the era through engravings of coffeehouses, cemeteries, harems, baths, churches, and mosques.
