City views were used to document the territorial expansion of the Ottoman Empire and to map its expanding forntiers. This study examines the portrayal of the frontiers of the Ottomans in one famous group of manuscripts from the mid sixteenth century. This body of work was the first to use city views as a means of representing the limits of the Ottoman state. City views offered a vision of the Ottoman Empire as the sum of its territorial acquisitions and allowed members of the ruling class who collected the images to imagine their empire in these terms.
