This is a drawing of a historic Ottoman mosque built by Sinan. Made around 1818, it shows careful lines and a light, dreamy feel. The paper has small holes along the edges, hinting at an old tracing tool. Vulliamy was a British architect who sketched nine mosques in Istanbul and Bursa. His work stands out because it mixes sharp accuracy with a soft, airy look. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
