EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a poignant moment in history, depicting Armenian refugees encamped on the Hill of Colonus near Athens. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the struggles faced by displaced Armenians during a time of civil unrest. The image showcases rows of tents scattered across the hillside, serving as temporary homes for these unfortunate individuals seeking refuge. The composition evokes both despair and resilience as families gather together amidst their uncertain circumstances. Against the backdrop of Athens' majestic landscape, this scene highlights not only the plight of these Armenian refugees but also sheds light on Greece's role in providing sanctuary to those fleeing persecution. It serves as a reminder that even in times of turmoil, humanity can find solace and compassion within its borders. Published in The Illustrated London News on November 14th, 1896, this engraving aimed to raise awareness about the dire situation faced by Armenian refugees at that time. Its inclusion in private collections today ensures that their story continues to be told and remembered. Through this historical artwork, we are reminded of Europe's complex tapestry and its ability to provide shelter and support during times of crisis. This engraving stands as a testament to human resilience and serves as an important visual record documenting one chapter within our shared global history.
