Äußerst seltener Plan vom Topkapi Palast in Istanbul

This rare plan of the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul was published by John Rocque, an English engraver, active in London from 1734. The title is printed in English and French as well the 55 number key left and right of the plan is bilingual. Also two large sailing ships and six rowing boats are shown.

We only could locate a handful of copies of this plan, hold by the Libraries in Yale, London, Bern and Paris.
