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: The face of the mountain, ascending from the city, presents the remains of very extensive fortifications, once occupied by soldiers of various nations, but at present in a state of entire dilapidation…A more modern edific, surrounded by well-timbered woods, attracts more attention. This is the residence of the present Ayan, or proprietor of the soil, whose family has been long distinguished in the region...the family of Cara Osman Oglou preserved a high character for many generations and every traveller who visited Magnesia spoke of them as liberal and enlighted benefactors of the territory over which they presided...The present population of the city is estimated at somewhat more than 30,000, of which 20,000 are Turks, and the remainder Jews and Christians. The former have twenty mosques, whose bristling minarets are seen in our illustration. There ara three Greek and Armenian churches, and two synagogues. In the foreground is represented one of those oriental wells, which from the earliest ages were "digged" in the East, and which now form a conspicuous object in every landscape. (II,11)
