VIEW OF THE SERAGLIO POINT, CONSTANTINOPLE FROM THE TOWER OF GALATA.

Spectacular view of mid-nineteenth century Istanbul, from Galata looking across to the Seraglio Point and the centre of the city, with Scutari beyond, and the Bridge of Boats in the lower right. Sailing ships and paddle steamers are shown in the Golden Horn. A rare and splendid lithograph engraved by Thomas Shotter Boys, a pioneer of chromolithography and well known as a topographical watercolourist.

Good wide margins, a little darkened at edges. A good, dark and clean impression, in excellent condition.
