About the Item

Bosporus Harbor View from Pera, Istanbul Arsenal – Antique Bartlett, c.1839 Description: An elegant and detailed 19th-century view of the Arsenal of Constantinople as seen from Pera, after W.H. Bartlett. This engraving presents a lively harbor scene along the Bosporus, with ships at anchor and the city rising in layered architectural forms across the water. Published in London around 1839 by Fisher, Son & Co., this work exemplifies the refined steel engraving techniques of the period. The composition balances foreground architectural elements with the expansive cityscape beyond, offering both intimacy and grandeur. The skyline of Constantinople is richly depicted with domes, minarets, and densely built structures, conveying the scale and importance of the city during the Ottoman era. The foreground includes cypress trees and traditional buildings, framing the view and adding depth. The original hand-coloring enhances the subtle interplay of light across the water and architecture, making this a particularly decorative and collectible example of Bartlett’s work. Note: All items we offer are authentic period works of art over 100 years old. The print is sold unframed; any framed images are shown for presentation and interior inspiration only. Condition: Good condition. Light age toning and scattered foxing, mainly in the margins. Plate mark visible. Image remains clear with pleasing original coloring. Framing tips: Beautiful in a dark frame with a wide mount for a classic collector’s look. Also suitable for a lighter contemporary frame to emphasize the cityscape and water tones. Technique: Steel engraving with original hand-coloring Maker: W.H. Bartlett (after), engraved by S. Bradshaw, London, circa 1839 Keywords: Istanbul harbor print, Pera engraving, Constantinople arsenal, Bartlett Istanbul, Bosporus harbor scene, antique Turkey print, Ottoman cityscape, 19th century engraving, Istanbul skyline, maritime print, Middle East art, antique city view, Fisher Son Co, Ottoman Empire print

Antique Istanbul Panorama from Mount Bulgurlu, Constantinople – Bartlett, c.1839

Antique Istanbul Panorama from Mount Bulgurlu, Constantinople – Bartlett, c.1839

Located in Langweer, NL

Antique Istanbul Panorama from Mount Bulgurlu, Constantinople – Bartlett, c.1839 A beautifully composed panoramic view of Constantinople as seen from Mount Bulgurlu, after W.H. Bartlett, one of the most influential travel artists of the 19th century. This engraving presents a sweeping vista across the Bosporus toward the historic skyline of Istanbul, dotted with domes and minarets and animated by ships moving through the water. Published in London around 1839 by Fisher, Son & Co., the print exemplifies the romantic yet topographically accurate style that made Bartlett’s work so widely admired. The foreground, with figures resting beneath trees and a caravan scene, adds narrative charm and scale to the expansive city view beyond. The composition is particularly effective in its layering: from the shaded foreground to the luminous water and the distant city bathed in soft atmospheric light. The delicate hand-coloring enhances this depth, with subtle greens, blues, and warm tones harmonizing across the landscape. Panoramic views such as this were among the most desirable images for 19th-century collectors and remain highly decorative today, offering both historical interest and strong visual impact. Note: All items we offer are authentic period works of art over 100 years old. The print is sold unframed; any framed images are shown for presentation and interior inspiration only. Condition: Good condition. General age toning and some scattered foxing, primarily in the margins. Plate mark visible. Image area remains bright with attractive original coloring. Framing tips: Ideal for a wide mount and a classic dark wood or ebonized frame to enhance the panoramic effect. Also suitable for a lighter, Paris-style presentation for a brighter interior. Technique: Steel engraving with original hand-coloring Maker: W.H. Bartlett (after), engraved by R. Brandard, London, circa 1839 Keywords: Constantinople panorama, Istanbul antique...
