Panorama of Constantinople from Pera: Panoramic view from the Sergalio to St Jacob's Chapel, and from the harbour of Pera (Beyoglu) to Constantine’s column, the Burnt Column (Cemberlitas) and the church of Galata (Karakoy). In fine original colour with key.
Born in Augsburg to an established family of printer/engravers, Probst was a master craftsman by his early twenties. The intricate and detailed panorama of Constantinople emulates the earlier 17th century tradition that combined cartographic and landscape drawing and informed most of the landscapes he produced of important cities.
