EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Troubles in Crete, landing Guns from the British Fleet at Candia" transports us back to a tumultuous period in history. Created by Frank Dadd and now part of a private collection, this print offers a glimpse into the events that unfolded in Crete during 1898. In this scene, we witness the arrival of British troops and artillery on the shores of Candia. The British fleet looms large in the background as sailors work diligently to unload guns onto boulders strewn across the beach. The atmosphere is tense with anticipation as these military reinforcements prepare to join forces with their comrades already stationed on land. The troubled situation in Crete becomes palpable through Dadd's masterful depiction. The engraving showcases not only the military might brought forth by Britain but also highlights the resilience and determination of both Cretan and Greek people amidst unrest. "The Troubles in Crete" serves as an important historical document capturing a significant moment when European powers intervened to restore stability within Greece. It reminds us of how art can transcend time, allowing us to reflect upon past conflicts while appreciating its artistic merit. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece for future generations, ensuring that its narrative continues to resonate with viewers today.
