Constantinople ancienne et moderne et description des côtes et isles de l'Archipel et de la Troade
A 1799 French translation by André Morellet of James Dallaway's travel and topography work on Constantinople, the Aegean islands and the Troad, issued for a readership interested in antiquities and travel. The engraved panorama shows the Bosphorus shoreline with a distant city of domes and minarets above water, while in the foreground a low stone building with an arched doorway, a tall minaret-like column and walled gardens sit among trees, with a caption in French along the bottom edge. A designer could take from it the layered horizon of a waterfront city, drawn with fine hatched line and atmospheric distance.
