A Journey into Herzegovina - Starting from Risano
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative engraving from the "Illustrated London News" of 1876, showcasing the rugged terrain and traditional ways of life in the Balkans during the Herzegovina Uprising. The image, created from a sketch by an unknown special artist, captures a scene of travelers making their way through the region, starting from the town of Risano. The engraving depicts a group of men and women dressed in traditional clothing, making their way through a dusty street. A horseman rides at the front, leading a horse laden with bags and supplies. Behind him, a man walks alongside a horse, while a woman and child follow, carrying bundles on their backs. The apparel of the travelers is simple yet practical, with long coats and trousers for the men, and long skirts and shawls for the women. The scene is rough and unpolished, reflecting the challenging conditions of travel in the region during that time. The engraving serves as a reminder of the hardships faced by the peasantry during the uprising against Turkish rule, as well as the scenery of the neighboring Dalmatian seaports and Montenegro. The image also highlights the role of the press in documenting and disseminating information about the ongoing conflict and the experiences of travelers in the region. The "Illustrated London News" was a popular British newspaper known for its visual reporting, and this engraving is a testament to the power of art and journalism in capturing and preserving historical moments. The image invites us to imagine the journey of the travelers and the stories they carried with them, as they made their way through the beautiful yet challenging landscape of Herzegovina.
