EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print, titled 'Plan of Constantinople and its Suburbs' by John Dower, was published in the Illustrated London News in 1856. The meticulously detailed map showcases the city of Constantinople, now known as Istanbul, Turkey, during the 19th century. The image highlights several notable features, including the 'Golden Horn' or the Port, the 'Bosphorus' or the Channel of Constantinople, leading to the Black Sea, and the 'Sea of Marmara'. The city's diverse quarters are also depicted, such as the Armenian, Frank, and Jewish Quarters. A pontoon bridge and the Seraglio are also visible in this intricately engraved representation. This historical map provides a fascinating glimpse into the geography and layout of Constantinople during a significant period in its rich history.
