Nusretiye Mosque.
Thomas Allom, from "Constantinople: and the Scenery of the Seven Churches of Asia Minor," London, Paris: [1839?] #illustration #art https://www.oldbookillustrations.com/illustrations/nusretiye-mosque/

View of the Nusretiye Mosque, with the Bosphorus in the foreground and a man boarding a ship from a rowboat. The author describes the mosque as follows:
"This beautiful but small imperial mosque of the reigning sultan, is situated not on a conspicuous eminence like those of his predecessors, but in the low alluvial ground on the shores of the Bosphorus, and on the water’s edge; but the beauty and finish of the edifice compensate for the defects of its site. All the skill of Oriental ornament is expended upon it. Rich lattice-work and taper spires of minarets highly gilded, glitter in the sun with a brilliancy and recency, as if they had been left just finished by the hands of the artisans."
