English: Constantinople, from HMS Caesar
image: a view of the large harbour at Constantinople from the deck of the Royal Navy battleship HMS Caesar. A small part of the battleship's deck is visible in the immediate foreground, moored up against a wharf, with another warship moored on the other side. In the distance a series of large merchant ships and liners are moored at the harbour's edge, set against the enormous dome of the Hagia Sophia and the minarets and domes of the Blue Mosque, which dominate the horizon. Local sailing boats are also moored within the harbour.

This file is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
