Constantinople : ouvrage orné de 103 gravures
An illustrated survey of the art and monuments of Constantinople by Hermann Barth, published in Paris by H. Laurens in 1906 for French readers of the Villes d'art tradition of travel and architecture guides. Halftone photographs and engravings record Byzantine and Ottoman interiors: marble colonnades under galleries, carved capitals and arch soffits, muqarnas-hooded doorways, and worn apse mosaics, offering designers architectural ornament, column arcades, and grainy monochrome interior views.
