Grand panorama showing the city on two joined sheets, as issued. A key at bottom names twenty-nine major buildings identified in the view. It is beautifully engraved with quaint scenes of every-day life, including hunters with their dogs in the near foreground. The view is titled above, Constantinopolitanae Urbis Effigies ad Vivum Expressa, quam Turcae Stampoldam Vocant.

Nice impression with a few extraneous creases and light foxing, mostly in the margins. There is a very old manuscript 'A' above the title and a small abrasion on the paper joint, affecting a little of the top title.
