It may have been this visit which inspired him to undertake an extended work on the regions around the Black Sea. The geographical information was collected by Colonel Lafitte and transmitted to Le Chevalier by the engineer Monnier. The maps illustrate the Sea of Mormora, the Dardanelles, the Black Sea, the Bosphorus, Constantinople and Brussa. Much of the work is concerned with Constantinople".
