EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Map of the Country around Plevna" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into a significant moment in history. The detailed map showcases the region surrounding Plevna, now known as Pleven, in Bulgaria. The intricate lines and delicate shading bring to life the topography of this strategic area. It is evident that this map served a purpose beyond mere aesthetics; it was created for The Illustrated London News publication on August 11,1877. During this time, Plevna played a crucial role in the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878). As we gaze upon this print, we can imagine military strategists studying its contours and planning their next moves. The historical significance of this engraving cannot be overstated. It serves as both an educational tool and a window into the past. Through its meticulous details, we are transported to a time when borders were shifting and nations were fighting for their independence. Now preserved within a private collection but made accessible through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical importance. It reminds us of how maps have always been essential tools for understanding our world's complex landscapes and geopolitical dynamics.
