Dardanelles Strait, with a Perspective of the City of Constantinople, 1693

About the Item

Title: "Veue des Dardanelles de Constantinople, 1693" Description: This historical copper engraving, crafted by Nicholas de Fer between 1646 and 1720 in Paris, is a remarkable depiction titled "Veue des Dardanelles de Constantinople." It was included in de Fer's esteemed collection, "Les Forces de l'Europe," published in 1693. The detailed artwork offers a panoramic view of the strategic Dardanelles Strait, with a distant perspective of the city of Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul) in the backdrop. The engraving not only captures the strategic importance of the Dardanelles, historically known as the Hellespont, but also serves as a valuable cartographic document of the era, showcasing the military and maritime strength of the region during the late 17th century.
