The Obelisk of Theodosius - Constantinople
The Egyptian obelisk of Thutmose III (1549 - 1503 BC) - originally from Deir el Bahri opposite Thebes in Upper Egypt to commemorate campaigns in Syria. About 60m tall weighing 800 tonnes - broke during shipment to Constantinople in 4th century AD, only top 3rd survived. It stands in the Hippodrome close to the Blue Mosque in Istanbul. Postcard by Publishing House of Rochat. Inspired to issue a series of cards of quite well-known views of Constantinople which they then washed out in various colours. This was perhaps, for Constantinople, an innovation and the cards proved to be very popular with the public
