Sébah, Pascal and Policarpe Joaillier Panorama de Constantinople pris de la Tour de Galata. Circa 1895. 10 albumen prints, mounted to original card and joined in concertina folds. Each circa 25 x 33,5 cm (overall size circa 25 x 340 cm). Housed in the original red cloth portfolio with gilt-stamped title and ornamentation. This panorama offers a sweeping view of late nineteenth-century Constantinople, extending from Galata and Pera across the Bosphorus to Üsküdar and along the Golden Horn. Among the principal landmarks visible are Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, the Sultan Ahmed and Süleymaniye Mosques, the Beyazıt Tower and the Galata Bridge, set amid the city’s densely built quarters and busy waterways. – Portfolio slightly soiled and worn; boards slightly toned with light foxing spots; prints with some foxing, particularly in the sky areas, and fading, especially along the folds; otherwise all in very good condition with strong contrasts.
