Originally created in the mid to late nineteenth century, this 1891 reproduction is a high quality original poster book print in excellent condition, perfectly suitable for framing. It is not a photocopy.
The image measures 6" x 8" with a border measuring 8.5" x 10.25" overall.
Untrimmed with room for trimming border. The backside of the print is blank.
1891 Commentary at bottom reads:
STREET SCENE, CONSTANTINOPLE, TURKEY.--The American traveler upon entering this city is almost bewildered at the many novelties that confront him before he reaches his hotel. Nothing strikes him more forcibly than the awful silence that pervades so large a place. The only sound heard is an occasional cry of some vender, with a large wooden tray on his head, selling sweetmeats, sherbet, fruit or bread. Dogs at intervals disturb the pedestrian. Hundreds of them lie in the middle of the street, and only move when aroused by blows. At ten o'clock at night, the city is as silent as death.

This original 1891 print was taken from a rare antique book containing the largest and most unique collection of black and white photographs ever to be made before it's printing. It is one of many photographic views of famous places around the world and instantaneous photographs showing the every day life of people in various countries of the world in the nineteenth century. The collection, which was available by subscription only, also features direct copies of famous paintings and statuary from the leading galleries of the world, by the old and modern masters. At the bottom edge is a short commentary containing interesting facts about the place. You can trim the border and frame this image for a nostalgic gift or to add to your decor. This is not a copy of a copy, nor is it a modern or recent reproduction.
The condition is good. I am fairly selective about the prints I sell. With these prints being over 115 years old, you can expect to see at least some wear along the edges, which can easily be trimmed.

I offer some prints with frames but prefer sending unframed prints because the glass in frames is too easily broken in transit. Also, proper packaging for glass frames is a costly expense for the customer. Instead, you can find great deals on frames at your local department store where you can often find a variety of colors and styles from $3 and up. Add style and character to your home or office with famous masterpieces without spending a fortune. My prints are as aesthetically appealing and pleasing to the eye as rare original prints.
