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: Our illustration presents a view of the city, with mount Thorax rising behind it, and the ridges of the Messogeis before it - the wooded plain of the Meander lying between, and spread out under the city, Both seem to partake of the same quality of rank vegetation. Among minarets, and domes, and houses rise cypress, terebinth, and oriental platanus, so that the whole is a forest of mingled spires and trees; among these myriad of turtle-doves take up their abode, and they and their progeny, in surprising numbers, covering the branches and roofs, fill the air all day long with their incessant and plaintive cooing. (II, 28)
