EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The War, Bulgarian Refugees in Greek Schools at Philippopolis" takes us back to a significant moment in history during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877. The image showcases the resilience and compassion displayed by Greek schools in Philippopolis (now known as Plovdiv) towards Bulgarian refugees fleeing from the horrors of war. In this poignant scene, we witness children huddled together within the confines of a classroom, seeking solace and education amidst their displacement. Their weary faces tell tales of hardship and loss, yet there is also a glimmer of hope shining through their eyes. The artist's attention to detail allows us to observe every aspect of this powerful tableau. From the worn-out clothing draped over fragile bodies to the makeshift desks and chairs that symbolize both struggle and determination, each element contributes to our understanding of these young refugees' plight. "The War, Bulgarian Refugees in Greek Schools at Philippopolis" serves as a reminder not only of the devastating consequences brought about by conflict but also highlights humanity's capacity for empathy and support even in times of great adversity. This historical print preserved within a private collection offers an invaluable glimpse into an era marked by turmoil but also resilience. It invites viewers to reflect on how acts of kindness can make all the difference when faced with unimaginable challenges – lessons that remain relevant even today.
