Office of the paper Ipsick Khan|Constantinople [Istanbul [Istanbul]] 1869-1870|31 x 48 cm|2 volumes reliés
Rare collection of approximately 250 issues of the bilingual English–French maritime gazette published in Constantinople, covering the period from 1 July 1869 to 3 June 1870.
No library appears to hold a complete run. The numbering is at times erratic, and a manuscript note reading "suspension" apparently accounts for a gap of several days in November 1869, together with a dating error.
Bradel bindings in half black cloth, smooth spines ruled in gilt; two frayed spine-ends with tears, a vertical abrasion with orange and green staining to the spine of the first volume, beige paper-covered boards with small losses, a few scuffs to the edges; modern bindings.
