Frank Brangwyn made this etching from a drawing he made in Constantinople (Istanbul, Turkey) c. 1896. 70 proofs of the etching were made before the plate was destroyed.
A part cut from this plate showing the group of figures around the well was printed in 1919 as a separate etching, ‘The Turkish Well’ (‘Un Puits Turc’) 15 x 21 cm. with the addition of a different background showing houses with arcaded facades.

The view shows Santa Sophia, built in 532-7 during the reign of the Emperor Justinian it was one of the most famous of Byzantine churches; it was turned into a mosque after the conquest of Constantinople by the Turks in 1453.

‘Vieux Saules’. Second state. Three impressions only taken of the first state in which the left side of the plate was joined to another etching ‘Trees, Longpre, No. 2’ a copy of which is in the collection, see P 519 / ii. A copy of this first state, showing the lane leading down to a river with factories beyond is in the British Museum (BM 1943 – 12 – 11 – 239). This background was taken out and re-worked when the plate was divided.
