Abstract (en)

Examines certain aesthetic tropes which informed descriptions of the Ottoman city of Salonica by 19th-c. travellers. The claims of the picturesque coexisted with other rationales for travel, including the value of the direct impression conveyed by a landscape steeped in classical and Biblical associations. The value of such works lies mainly in the way they express patterns of authorial cultural taste.
