Excerpt from original source: The population of Smyrna has been variously estimated, but the best authorities consider it about 120,000, of which not more than one half are Turks, and about 35,000 to 38,000 Greeks; the remainder is composed of the various nations of Europe, including a large proportion of Armenian and Jews, by whom the trade of the port is almost monopolised, which perhaps exceeds that of any other city in the Turkish dominions; and although of course seriously effected by the present war, it still continues to export largely to England, the Continent of Europe, and the United States. Our engraving gives a faithfull transcript of the bay, the city, and the castle; the foreground is enlivened by a representation of a scene which is to be met with every day in the outskirts of Smyrna: a string of camels, with their attendant drivers and guards, are slowly winding down the rocky descent.
