EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the Austrian seaport town of Ragusa, Dalmatia, in 1876, during the Herzegovina uprising against Turkish rule. The image, published in the "Illustrated London News," reveals the bustling harbor teeming with ships, some of which are believed to have supplied the insurgents with essential resources to sustain their struggle. The continuation of this fierce conflict between the Christian subjects of Turkey and their Mohammedan rulers, along with the failure of peaceful intervention attempts by Austria and other great powers, posed a significant threat of escalating the conflict. The Turkish Government was contemplating declaring war on the half-independent principalities of Servia and Montenegro for their involvement in the Herzegovina revolt. This engraved print, with its stunning coastal landscape and palm trees lining the shore, offers a glimpse into the geopolitical tensions of the 19th century Balkans. The print, a testament to the power of the press, serves as an essential historical document and a captivating work of art for scholars, historians, and anyone interested in the rich history of the Adriatic region.
