This rare plan was published in Henry de Beauvau's 'Relation Journaliere du Voyage du Levant', an account of the French diplomatic expedition of 1605-10 to Constantinople to meet the new Sultan, Ahmed I. A second edition was published later in 1619 with identical letterpress.
The plate is signed 'I.A. fe: Nancy', and has been attributed to the engraver Jean Appier.
