"During the second half of the 19th century, printed cartography became common Istanbul: plans of the city accompanied the travel guides that targeted the increasingly numerous European tourists in the Ottoman capital. For example, the Prussian officer Carl Stolpe made plans of Constantinople in the 1860s. Their second edition, published in Istanbul by Lorentz & Otto Keil[1], was accompanied by explanations in French and German, with plentiful information about the historic sites. Different colours clearly distinguished the town’s various quarters, “according to their religious composition”, as well as their cemeteries. In later editions, blue lines indicated the urban and interurban railways. As proof of their success, Stolpe’s plans went through numerous editions until the end of the century. "Source
