The beauties of the Bosphorus
The Beauties of the Bosphorus is a travel book by Julia Pardoe with steel engravings after William Henry Bartlett, published in London in 1838 for a general reading public with an interest in Ottoman Constantinople. Its plates are landscape views of the strait, its shorelines and waterside buildings, drawn in fine tonal line with soft grey skies and small figures for scale, offering a designer a model for atmospheric topographic illustration and for placing architecture within broad panoramic settings.
