EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century depicts a scene of unrest and agitation during "The Troubles in Crete". The image showcases insurgents positioned in a mountain fastness, eagerly scanning the horizon for any sign of approaching Turkish troops. With rifles at the ready, these brave individuals embody the spirit of resistance against foreign occupation. The composition exudes a sense of motion and blurred action, hinting at the constant movement and tension that characterized this period. It serves as a powerful reminder of the struggles faced by the Cretan people in their fight for independence.

This collaboration between nations underscores the strong bond shared among those fighting for freedom across Europe. Through this engraving, we are transported back to an era where bravery and determination were essential tools against oppression. It is an invitation to reflect upon our own commitment to justice and liberation today.
