The English and French Army Post-Offices at Pera, 1854. Creator: Unknown
The English and French Army Post-Offices at Pera, 1854. Crimean War. Post office buildings in Istanbul. The Post-office for the English army has just been removed from Galata to Pera. The building it now occupies is substantially built, of stone, and may be called a fine house for Constantinople. It is situated on the road leading from the four corners (quatre rues) of Pera, down to Tophana, and immediately above the Hotel d'Europe. Next door, above the English, is the French Army Post-office, where two Turkish soldiers mount guard, and salute all French officers who pass. This is rather a novel sight for Constantinople. These buildings face the south-west, and command a view of the entrance to the Golden Horn and the Marmora Sea'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
