EDITORS COMMENTS
With the Knights of Malta - the Luxury of a Smoke, Serbo-Bulgarian War, 1885 (1886) captures a poignant moment amidst the chaos and devastation of war. In this photo print, we are transported back to the late 19th century Balkans where soldiers find solace in a simple act: smoking cigarettes. The image depicts a group of wounded soldiers from Serbia enjoying a brief respite in their bedchamber within the barracks. Despite their injuries and the hardships they have endured on the battlefield, these men find comfort and camaraderie in sharing this small luxury together. The cigarette smoke hangs gently in the air as they lean against their bunks, creating an atmosphere that is both somber and serene. Frederick Villiers, known for his powerful war illustrations, captured this intimate scene with great sensitivity. His engraving allows us to witness not only the physical wounds suffered by these brave knights but also their resilience and determination to find moments of enjoyment amidst adversity. This photograph serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict, humanity persists. It highlights how something as seemingly insignificant as smoking can provide temporary relief from pain and offer much-needed moments of escape for those who have sacrificed so much for their country. As we gaze upon this historic image today, let us remember those who fought bravely during the Serbo-Bulgarian War and honor their sacrifices.
