1. Title: Ancient Monument in the Seraglio of the Grand Seignior at Constantinople (Istanbul, Turkey) This image showcases an ancient monument nestled within the seraglio, or palace complex, of the Grand Seignior in Constantinople, now Istanbul, Turkey. The seraglio, a grand architectural ensemble, served as the residence of the Ottoman sultans and their harem from the 15th to the late 19th centuries. The photograph is an exquisite illustration by Ali Bey el Abbassi, taken from his "Travels in Morocco, Tripoli, Cyprus, Egypt, Arabia, Syria and Turkey," published in London in 1816. The illustration was meticulously engraved in copperplate by Dell Acqua and hand-colored by Lazaretti for the "Collection of the Most Interesting Voyages" (Raccolta de Viaggi Piu Interessanti) published in Milan between 1815 and 1817. The ancient monument depicted in the image is a testament to the rich history and cultural diversity of the region.
