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: On the right, in front are the remains of the theatre, ascending the side of the hill; and before it, extensive ruins are scattered over the surface. Other fragments of edifices are strewed about, and beyond is humid plain of the Cayster. In the back ground are the hills which terminate the plain; and under them, on a lower eminence, the town of Aiasuluk, having below all that remains of the church of St. John, and the aqueduct, build by Herodes Atticus from the ruins of the great city... All that remains of the Gentile population are, one hundred Turks, enclosed within narrow limits on the summit of a hill; and its numerous Christian congregation is reduced to two individuals, one a Greek gardener, and the other the keeper of a coffe-house,- and these are the representatives of the first great church of the Apocalypse!
