Julia Pardoe (1804-1862) was an English poet, novelist and traveller. She was one of the first women to describe Turkey, where she travelled with her father Commander Thomas Pardoe, in 1836. Her most popular work is the City of the Sultan and Domestic Manners of the Turks (1837), which presented the Turkish upper class with sympathy and humanity. This comprehensive work about Constantinople , its people and customs was a very popular publication also due to the beautiful illustrations after William Henry Bartlett..
