Constantinople and the Scenery at the Seven Churches of Asia Minor,illustrated in a series of Drawings from Nature by T.Allom with an historical account of Constantinople and description of the plates by the Rev. R.Walsh. 1838 , London/Paris
Excerpt from original source: This church was next to Santa Sophia, the best model of a Greek Christian edifice. Its remains at this day are of gigantic proportions, and afford a melancoly memorial of the vast Christian population that required so large an edifice, where now the existence of Christianity is hadly known. It stands near the great khan of the city, and rises above all the other buildings, on which it seems to look down...it was converted to a mosque; but tradition says that a miracle caused it to be abandoned. To mark its appropriation to the Prophet, a minaret was built at one of its angles...As an appropriate object in our illustration, the stork is seen crowning the summit of a tower...Though the bird is seen in great numbers in all Oriental towns, Pergamus seems its favourite haunt; the inhabitants feel for it a fraternal regars, call it by endearing names and affirm their attachment is so mutual, that it follows the Moslem people into whatever part of the world they emigrate..they are seldom seen in the Greek and Armenian quarters. (II, 35-37)
