It was included in de Fer's esteemed collection, "Les Forces de l'Europe," published in 1693. The detailed artwork offers a panoramic view of the strategic Dardanelles Strait, with a distant perspective of the city of Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul) in the backdrop. The engraving not only captures the strategic importance of the Dardanelles, historically known as the Hellespont, but also serves as a valuable cartographic document of the era, showcasing the military and maritime strength of the region during the late 17th century.
