Panorama of Constantinople and the Dardanelles - the Sublime Porte, 1850. Gate to the Imperial Palace and Fountain of Ahmed III. Section of a 'Panorama, exhibited at 309, Regent-street [in London]...The principal entrance to the palace of the Sultan [is] a solemn, serious, nearly unadorned stone gateway, with semi-columns in the jambs, and crowned by a pointed arch...the rich, yet soft, grey stone colour of the whole is well calculated to give effect to the highly-decorated fountain in front, with its immensely projecting roof...The various figures attendant at the palace, and others seeking water at the fountain, by their varied and picturesque costume, assimilate buildings in such striking contrast. Even in the present multiplicity of panoramas, Mr. Allom's must be estimated as a very attractive addition'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
