Footnotes

The present works possibly depict an Ottoman location, circa 1840. The men all appear to be smoking chibouks, long-stemmed Turkish pipes, and camels in the background would suggest Asia Minor rather than the Adriatic. The large fortress on the hill could possibly indicate that the port is Smyrna or Chania.
