EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a pivotal moment during the outbreak in Crete, an event that shook the island and reverberated throughout Europe. The engraving, created by Charles J.

In this scene, we witness the clash between Turkish troops and Greek Christians as they confront each other amidst blurred motion.
