Légende

The French Screw Steamer "Charlemagne" passing the Castles of Europe and Asia at Constantinople, 1854. 'The waters of the Bosphorus have teemed with transports and steamers for the last few months; but [recently] there was an unusual activity, and many vessels passed up into the Black Sea...[The] Charlemagne...sailed down from Beicos [Beykoz], anchored before Dolmabaghsche [Dolmabahçe], where she embarked a large number of troops, and took on board two chalands, or lighters, one on each side. On her way up, the day following, she took two transports in tow. She is here represented passing the Castles of Europe and Asia, opposite Bevek, whence the Sketch is taken. In the background are seen the Anatolie Hissar [Anadoluhisari, an Ottoman fortress], or Castle of Asia, and the Valley of the Heavenly Waters'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
