Pardoe's work is one of the most popular and attractive of all books on the Bosphorus. This work was obviously planned to take advantage of the great success which The City of the Sultan had achieved. This present edition is enlarged from the 1838 edition with an appendix on the Crimean War and 6 extra plates
4to, engraved portrait frontispiece of Pardoe, additional engraved title, engraved map and 85 plates, contemporary maroon half morocco gilt, marbled edges and sides, lightly rubbed, light foxing to verso of front free endpaper and first blank, tiny ink stain to frontispiece, light toning to extreme edges of plates, generally a very good clean copy.
Atabey 922; cf. Blackmer 1254 (first edition).
