Show morePlates include views of Constantinople and its surroudings, some costume subjects and, curiously enough, various forms of Turkish transport by Jean Brindesi, an Italian painter who worked primarily as a watercolour artist in Istanbul, during the Abdul-Majid period (1831-1861). He worked on scenes involving Ottoman soldiers. 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 Topkapı Palace Museum and at the University of Istanbul. While the first album represents the government and military dignitaries, the second one captures the atmosphere of day-to-day life in Istanbul through quaint and lively depictions. Title from item, date devised. Oblong folio, no letterpress, tinted lithograph title + 20 tinted lithograph plates printed in colours, original purple decorative cloth gilt, purple leather backstrip. First and probably only edition. Main Heritage Compact General HC.GM.2015.0004 2-D Graphic Item-ID: i2279802x BIB-ID: 2426471 Show less
