ENGRAVING OF THE BARRACKS OF THE CAMP OF THE DEAD AT PERA. CONSTANTINOPLE. ISTANBUL.

Description:
- Engraving Quarter of the camp of the dead in Pera. Constantinople.
- All the titles and signatures are outside the plate.
- The upper margin does not have the legend, it is cut off.
- The lower margin has the legend 'Caserne du champ des morts á Peral'.
- Pera, now called Beyoglu, is a district of Istanbul, Turkey, located in the European part of the city. It was called Pera until the beginning of the 20th century with the foundation of the republic.
- The number '51' is printed in the upper right-hand corner, which suggests that the engraving is number 51 in a series.
- Augustin François Lemaître: French engraver, lithographer, designer, publisher and photographer. He depicted many landscapes, monuments, architecture and people, especially during his many travels in Europe.
- Intaglio etching on steel plate, although another technique could also have been used.
- Produced in a single-colour black tone, very well inked.
- It is probably an engraving belonging to a book.

Conservation and Damage:
- General condition: Good.
- The upper side of the paper does not keep the parallel to its opposite side, resulting in an irregularly shaped engraving paper.
- The ink is very good and the print is well stamped.
- The engraving has a medium-thickness paper of regular quality.
- The engraving has suffered from humidity, so the paper has small humidity stains and rust spots, all of which are more pronounced as we get closer to the edges.
- The engraving is dirty, and the edges are much dirtier, with very small tears, and the tips are slightly deteriorated with slight bending.
- A light washing and bleaching would be a very good result.

Comments:
- Measurements are approximate.
- Ideal engraving as a decorative element.
- The tones of the colours in the photos are not the same as the tones of the real colours.
- The Engraving for sale is the one that corresponds to the photos. The description is not a detailed exposition of it.
- The data provided here are personal opinions not contrasted.
