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: Ships from all nations crowd the water, and their various pennons, floating in the breeze, add to the gaiety of the scene. The French are particularly distinguished. On every fête-day there is kept up a kind of jubilee, and the gala of Paris seems transfered to this port: music resounds from every deck; boats filled with joyous company are continually moving from ship to ship on visits of ceremony; and the explosion of cannon, rebounding in echoes along the distant hills, announce their arrival and departure. In fact, of all the Frank nations, the French seem to consider this harbour as their own; and the Turks submit with a grave toleration to scenes of levity, of which they afterwards complain. (II, 79-80)
