- Content
Genre/Subject Matter:
This printed pen sketch shows the town of Fao in latter-day Iraq and was probably sketched from on board ship. A flagstaff to the left of the image probably denotes the location of the telegraph station and post office. Fao is described as ‘the Turkish town’ on p. 7 of the same volume; this is indicated by the ay-yıldız (star and crescent) indicated on the flag atop the flagstaff.
