Notes	These images show events that took place on the Golden Horn on the evening of the third day. In them, we see the sultan seated in a tent on the Arsenal Palace quay surrounded by attendants. Two rafts are floating by. The one at the right, of which we can only see a part but appears to be a platform mounted on a pair of caiques, was donated by Yeğen Mehmed Pasha, Superintendent of the Customs Office. The figures of two rams suspended on gears and pulleys from the roof butt one another. This is following a real raft on which are set two gigantic dummies that face backwards and are dressed in Persian garb. At the front of the raft is a huge wheel of fireworks that one of the pyrotechnicists is causing to revolve. Its supporting frame is surmounted by a fire-spewing bird and rockets hurtle this way and that.
