Herzegovinian Refugees at Ragusa, from a sketch by our special artist, 1876. Creator: Unknown
Herzegovinian Refugees at Ragusa, from a sketch by our special artist, 1876. In the interview which Baron Rodich had, a fortnight ago, at Ragusa [Dubrovnik], with the principal insurgent leaders, the latter maintained their rejection of the reforms offered by the Porte. They declared, however, they would submit if Turkey withdrew forty battalions from Herzegovina and allowed the insurgents, while retaining their arms, to treat with the Beys. If this were refused, they proposed that Austria or another Power should effect an armed intervention in Herzegovina. Baron Rodich replied that it was impossible to grant these demands, and that Austria would maintain complete neutrality and strictly guard the frontier. The Austrian Government, at the end of March, would also cease to afford relief to the Herzegovina refugees'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative sketch, captured by an unknown special artist for the Illustrated London News in 1876, depicts a camp of Herzegovinian refugees huddled around a campfire in Ragusa, now known as Dubrovnik, Dalmatia. The scene unfolds amidst the backdrop of the Herzegovina Uprising against the Ottoman Empire. In the preceding weeks, the Austrian diplomat, Baron Rodich, had held talks with the insurgent leaders in Ragusa. The refugees, who had fled their homes due to the conflict, had pleaded for reforms from the Porte, but were met with refusal. They proposed that a foreign power intervene militarily in Herzegovina or that Austria cease providing relief to secure intervention. However, Austria maintained neutrality and refused to grant their demands. The refugees, both men and women, are seen crowded around a makeshift campfire, cooking their meager supplies in a cauldron or pipkin. The children gaze intently at the flames, while women tend to the fire and prepare food. The interior of the camp is overcrowded, with people seeking shelter from the harsh conditions. The refugees appear determined, despite their difficult circumstances, as they endure the hardships of displacement. The image, engraved from the original sketch, offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of the displaced civilians of Herzegovina during this tumultuous period in the Balkans.
