EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the Residence of Prince Gortschakoff, nestled in the picturesque countryside of Wallachia, near Bucharest, on the shores of the Black Sea, in 1853. The serene beauty of the scene is disrupted by the impending military action, as 18,000 Russian soldiers gather for exercises on the expansive grounds. Prince Gortschakoff's residence became a strategic location for the Russian Army during this period, as tensions between Russia and the Ottoman Empire escalated. The maneuvers were an essential preparation for the upcoming war, and the grand estate provided ample space for the troops to train and hone their skills. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in history, as the tranquility of the countryside is momentarily disrupted by the military might of the Russian forces. The Residence of Prince Gortschakoff, once a symbol of opulence and grandeur, now stands as a testament to the political and military tensions of the time.
