AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Featured is a stunning bird's-eye Bosphorus view towards Constantinople (Istanbul), as seen from the Scutari district on the Asian side with the Leander Tower ("Maiden's Tower") near-by.
Published in the RARE FIRST EDITION of " Reizen van Cornelis de Bruyn...".. Dated: Delft, 1698.
Drawn accurately from nature by the famous Dutch traveler and topographer Cornelis de Bruyn (1652-1726) during his voyage to the Levant.
ONLY IN THE FIRST EDITION of 1698 this print has the size of a double-sheet, while the later French edition of 1725 has this view minimized to a quarter and placed together with an additional view on one sheet.
Scarce large paper edition with exceptional large margins. Original center fold.
This is de Bruyn's only Constantinople view in a classic size and not over-size panorama.
Net size: 30 x 23cm. Size of the whole sheet: 39cm x 33cm
Excellent condition! Strong and fresh paper quality, clear imprint of the etching. Some very light age-toning on the margins, not affecting the image.
