Description
Print from steel engraving titled, „CONSTANTINOPEL“.
Drawn by E.T. Paris.
Engrawed by E. Finden.
Notes: Philadelphia: N. A. Bibliographic Institution.
Constantinople was the capital city of the Roman, Byzantine, Latin, and Ottoman empires. It was reinaugurated in 324 AD at ancient Byzantium, as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great, after whom it was named, and dedicated on 11 May 330. In the 12th century, the city was the largest and wealthiest European city. Eventually, the Byzantine Empire in the east was reduced to just its capital and its environs, falling to the Ottoman Empire in 1453. Following the Muslim conquest, the city prospered as the Islamic capital of the Ottoman period. After the founding of the modern Republic of Turkey — the successor state of the Ottoman Empire — the city was renamed İstanbul in 1923.
Approx. image size: 15 x 10/22, 3 x 16, 5 cm.
