St. Clair tells us that Friedel carried a lithographic press on his back through Greece, that he was at Missolonghi for a while with Byron, and that he married the sister of John Hodges, one of Byron's artificers."

"Fossati, an Italian who was the court architect in Russia, travelled to Constantinople in 1837 to undertake work on the Russian embassy building. In 1845, when the work on the building was finished, he entered the service of Porte. In 1847 he was charged with the restoration of Aghia Sophia. Part of his task involved uncovering the mosaics, which were subsequently re-covered. This book is important for the understanding of this stupendous monument." (Atabey)
