EDITORS COMMENTS
The War (engraving) captures the tumultuous scene of the Russo-Turkish War in the 19th century. This print, part of a private collection, showcases an illustration originally featured in The Illustrated London News on 9 June 1877. The image transports us to the Danube River, where military boats and tugboats have arrived to transport troops and supplies for battle. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as soldiers prepare for their mission ahead. Intriguingly, amidst this chaotic setting, we witness a unique moment: men exchanging money at Bulgaria's government house in Ruse. Perhaps it symbolizes the financial aspect of war or highlights how resources were allocated during this conflict. The composition skillfully combines elements of action and stillness; while soldiers bustle about their duties, there is a sense of quiet determination emanating from the grandeur of Konak Rustchuk in the background. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this historical artwork that not only documents a significant event but also offers insights into societal dynamics during times of war. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of both the sacrifices made by those involved and our own duty to remember and learn from history.
