Légende

A Street at Constantinople, 1856. Crimean War, Turkey: '...the European element to a greater extent prevails. The dandy amateur with Jim Crow hat, surrounded by a veil, is arm-in arm with the dandy British officer, who clangs his long spurs on the bad pavement...He has learned not to be annoyed at the vicinity of dogs - in Turkey they are mangy brutes - and to treat with great composure the request of dirty little picturesque boys to do innumerable things which we cannot comprehend...Under their awnings, meanwhile, sit some Turks - here, as in all places and situations - lazy, and squatting; whilst fat and contented old Mehemet has left his shop for the day, shouldered his umbrella, and mounted his ass, to join his family in the suburbs'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
