EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Town of Plevna, from the Road to Lovatz (looking North), sketched 11 December" takes us back in time to a significant moment in history. Created by Charles Robinson and featured in The Illustrated London News on 12 January 1878, this print offers a glimpse into the Russo-Turkish War. The scene depicts the town of Plevna, located in Bulgaria, as seen from the road leading to Lovatz. The artist's meticulous attention to detail allows us to witness the remains of ruined walls and the grandeur of Palace Ghazi Ali Bey. The topography is beautifully captured with hills surrounding the town, providing a picturesque backdrop for this historic setting. Notably visible are architectural structures such as Konak, also known as Turkish Governor's House. Its presence adds an air of authority and significance to this quaint Bulgarian town. As we delve into this artwork further, it becomes evident that Robinson has skillfully portrayed both beauty and destruction within one frame. The Krischina Redoubt stands tall amidst these ruins—a symbol of resilience against war's ravages. This print serves as a testament not only to Robinson's artistic talent but also to his ability to transport viewers through time and space. It invites us on a journey back over a century ago when conflict shaped landscapes and communities like Plevna forever changed their course.
