Voyage pittoresque de Constantinople et des rives du Bosphore

Six scenes of city life

Brussels, 19th century

Six lithographs made by different artists and printed in Brussels at Goubaud's Royal Chalcography. The following early lithographs originate from the second edition of Melling's renowned work, 'Voyage pittoresque de Constantinople et des rives du Bosphore,' published by Goubaut in Brussels in 1822 (first edition: Paris 1819). Melling's stunning views are widely regarded as some of the finest ever printed of the Constantinople area. In this edition, the plates have been re-engraved in a smaller format.
