Very Good French A fine original chromo-lithograph print from "Souvenirs de Constantinople" by Brindesi, printed in 1845. Framed, but will be sent no frame. 52x49 cm / 39x 44 cm print area. Stains on right bottom margins of the paper. The Ottoman navy, stationed in front of the Tophane Artillery barracks, is preparing to sail under the leadership of Kapudan Pasha's ship "Amiraute". Jean Brindesi was born in 1826 and worked primarily as a watercolour artist. During the Abdulmecid period (1831-1861), he worked on scenes involving soldiers in Istanbul. Two albums of lithographs after his drawings were produced by Lemercier in Paris: Elbicei Atika - Musee des Anciens Costumes Turcs de Constantinople, 1855, and Souvenirs de Constantinople, 1860; these two works are collections of picturesque views of the city of Constantinople. The originals are kept at the Istanbul Topkapi Palace Museum and at the University of Istanbul. (Source: Levantine Heritage).
