Description

Rare plan and birdseye view of Istanbul and environs, by Franz Nikolaus Rolffsen.

Striking map and birdseye view, with an elaborate cartouche and two compass rose fragments, centered on Constantinopel and the Bosphorus Straits. The key locates 91 places with int map and the birdseye view.

The map and view are apparently very rare. We locate only one auction record in the past 25 years and only one on-line record of an institutional copy in the National Archives of Sweden.
