Description:
Bartlett’s engraving from his trip to the East creates a powerful atmosphere rather than concentrating on identifiable features. It is the saleable mix of an attractive and exotic representation, and was perfect as a memento. Larnaca from the sea is depicted as an oriental town having the minaret as its focal point. The Ottoman attires worn by the figures in the boats add to the orientalization of the scene.
