"Shumla: A Glimpse into the Russo-Turkish War of 1828-1829" Step back in time and witness the captivating moments of the Russo-Turkish War through a series of engravings and artworks. Amongst them, "Taking of the Shumen Fortress, " painted by artist Gottfried Willewalde, transports us to a pivotal event during this conflict. Our artists diligently documented their experiences at various locations such as Rustchuk, Rasgrad, Kavarna, and Shumla itself. Their engraved notes provide an invaluable insight into the war's unfolding drama. In one engraving titled "Newspaper Correspondents and the War, " we catch a glimpse of journalists reporting on these historic events. Another engraving showcases Turkish refugees receiving clothing aid at Shumla—a poignant reminder of human suffering amidst warfare. "The War in the East" presents scenes from Sistova to Constantinople and even Asia—testimony to how far-reaching this conflict was. Turkish refugees from Tirnova seeking solace in it can depicted in another striking engraving. Watering horses becomes an essential task for soldiers stationed at Shumla—an everyday occurrence captured vividly in "The War, watering Horses at Shumla. " The camaraderie between our artists and Turkish forces is evident in yet another engraving titled "The War in the East with Turks at Shumla. " To delve deeper into Turkey's landscapes during this era, we explore additional engravings underlining views on the Russo-Turkish question. These images offer glimpses into both rural life and military fortifications across Turkey. Lastly, August Friedrich Andreas Campe's artwork takes us back further to 1828—the year when he immortalized "Taking of the Shumen Fortress. " This masterpiece encapsulates not only historical significance but also artistic prowess. Through these engravings and paintings, we are transported to a time of conflict, resilience, and human stories.
