[Turkey]. CHATELAIN, Henri Abraham. [Turkey—Set of Views]. The Thracian Bosporus [&] Description of the City of Smyrna [&] A Brief Account of the House of the Grand Lord, its Revenues, and the Civil, Military, and Ecclesiastical Government of this Empire. (Amsterdam, ca. 1720). Set of four views, including two copies of the same engraving, engraved on copper in black, 45.5 x 54 cm (sheet) (one copy of the Thracian Bosporus has tears extending to the title page but with no missing material; very slight foxing in the lower margin of the view “A Brief Account of the House of the Grand Lord”). This set brings together three prints published in Chatelain’s *Atlas historique*, devoted to Constantinople and Smyrna. The views of Constantinople depict the city as seen from the Bosporus and several of its major monuments, including the Grand Seraglio, Hagia Sophia, the aqueduct, and Pompey’s Column. The third print features a beautiful panoramic view of Smyrna, now known as Izmir. This lot includes two copies of *Bosphorus of Thrace*. Provenance: Samuelian Bookstore.
