EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, created by Lemaitre and Blanchard in 1840, depicts the Burial Ground or Champs des Morts Barracks at Beyoglu, Pera, in Constantinople (now Istanbul), during the Ottoman Empire. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history of this neighborhood in the heart of Turkey. The Champs des Morts, or Field of the Dead, was the name given to this area due to its use as a military burial ground. The barracks, visible in the background, housed the Turkish soldiers, with their camels and pack animals tethered nearby. The soldiers, dressed in their military uniforms, can be seen transporting their fallen comrades to the burial ground, underscoring the somber purpose of the site. The tree-lined streets and the architectural diversity of Beyoglu are also evident in the engraving. The neighborhood, known for its vibrant culture and eclectic mix of European and Turkish influences, was a bustling hub during the 19th century. The image captures the unique character of this district, with its blend of military presence and urban life. Historia de Turquia, the source of this engraving, was a comprehensive work on the history of Turkey, written by Joseph Marie Jouannin and Jules Van Gaver. The publication of this work in 1840 marked a significant contribution to the study of Turkish history and culture during the Ottoman Empire. This evocative image, with its intricate details and historical significance, invites us to explore the fascinating history of Beyoglu and the rich cultural heritage of Istanbul.
