"The Greek Patriarch of Constantinople, 18th century, engraved by C. Holl, from World Religion, published by A. Fullarton and Co." is an engraved illustration by C. Holl, based on a work by Bernard Picart, a notable French engraver and artist of the early 18th century. This illustration is part of a larger collection that appeared in a comprehensive religious study titled "World Religion," which was published by A. Fullarton and Co. The work depicts the Greek Patriarch of Constantinople, who is the spiritual leader of the Eastern Orthodox Church in the city that was historically known as Byzantium and later Constantinople, now modern-day Istanbul.

Bernard Picart's engravings were known for their detailed and accurate representations of various religious ceremonies and figures around the world. His works were instrumental in spreading knowledge about different cultures and religious practices during the Enlightenment period. The engraving by C. Holl captures the grandeur and authority of the Greek Patriarch, reflecting the importance of the religious office in the 18th century. The Patriarch is traditionally considered the "first among equals" in the hierarchy of the Eastern Orthodox Church and holds significant influence within the Orthodox Christian community.

The publication by A. Fullarton and Co. contributed to the dissemination of ethnographic and religious knowledge during a time when there was a burgeoning interest in understanding the diverse practices and beliefs of people around the globe. This particular engraving not only serves as a historical representation of the Greek Patriarch but also as a piece of art that offers insight into the religious and cultural life of the 18th century. It remains an important resource for scholars interested in the history of Christianity, religious iconography, and the role of art in the documentation of religious figures.
