An Atlas with the co-work of Pertusier and Préaulx: Days of istanbul

In the 19th century, with the changing politics, travellers' presence in Istanbul for travelling or other reasons, reflecting the moments they witnessed by including the Ottoman State in their diaries, have formed important historical documents of today. At the same time, before the invention of photography, engravings are another important element that helps us to examine the urban and sociological structure of the period. Charles Pertusier, who was in Istanbul as a military attaché, conveys the Istanbul of Mahmud II's period in his travelogue and constitutes the main point of study of this study. Michel François Préaulx, accompanying him with his engravings, constitutes another step of this study. The aim of this study is to bring a travelogue that sheds light on the period of Mahmud II to the world of academic science and to create a guide for future studies. It is aimed to create an important background together with the historical process in order to touch upon the important points of the period and to evaluate the city and the way of life in this period with the narratives of Pertusier- Préaulx.
