I start with pictures from a temporary exhibition, an exhibition about countries that came into contact with the Turks, I hate to confess I did not pay much attention to the historical element, but paid attention to some of the items on display, which I show.

One of several pictures I took of an entry of the embassy of Pjotr Potocki into Pera, by Luigi Mayer, active 1776-1792, about 1790, watercolour and gouache on paper, pasted on canvas. Reproduction.
