The Russian Advance in Asia, from West to East - A Glimpse into the Historic Journey
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by the English School in the 19th century and now part of a private collection, offers us a fascinating glimpse into an important chapter of history. Titled "The Russian Advance in Asia, from West to East, Batoum to Merv" it showcases the remarkable progress made by Russia across vast stretches of land. The image takes us on a visual expedition through Central Asia's diverse topography. Starting from Batoum on the shores of the Black Sea, we traverse Georgia's rugged landscapes before venturing further eastward. Along this journey lies an oasis of cultural encounters and territorial conquests. As our eyes wander across this intricate artwork, we witness significant milestones such as encounters with Tekke Turkomans and finally reaching Merv—a pivotal moment symbolizing Russia's expanding influence in these regions during that era. Originally featured as an illustration for The Illustrated London News on May 30th, 1885, this print provides valuable historical insight into geopolitical dynamics at play during that time. It serves as a reminder of how nations have sought to expand their territories throughout history—sometimes driven by ambition or strategic considerations. Through this enchanting engraving brought to life by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one aspect of Russia's bold advance into Asia—an enduring testament to human exploration and ambition.
