Lewis (Constantinople, Turkey) - Custom House
This picturesque folio lithograph is from John Frederick Lewis's Lewis's Illustrations of Constantinople: Made During a Residence in That City in the Years 1835-6. The work was published in London in 1838 by T. McLean, D. & P. Colnaghi, and John F. Lewis.
This rare work illustrated the city's port and custom house, mosques, Pasha's residence, and several other locations during the Ottoman Empire. The lithographs were all completed by Lewis after illustrations by Coke Smyth. "Lewis travelled in the Levant, but these drawings were not made by him. They were made by the artist Coke Smyth who was in Constantinople several years before Lewis visited that city." (Blackmer)
The work is in very good to excellent condition overall. There may be some faint fox marks mostly to the margins in this work. There may be a few minor imperfections to be expected with age. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions.
