EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches from the Danube" takes us back to the 19th century, immersing us in a scene of military life during the Crimean War. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist, offers a glimpse into history through intricate details and masterful craftsmanship. The image showcases Egyptian troops on horseback as they pass along the banks of the majestic Danube River. The soldiers are accompanied by Bashi Bozouks, irregular Ottoman infantrymen known for their fierce loyalty and fearsome reputation. Led by Omer Pacha, these warriors were instrumental in various battles throughout the war. The setting is Shumen (also known as Schumla), Bulgaria – a strategic location that witnessed significant military activity during this period. The sketch beautifully captures both the tranquility of nature and the intensity of wartime movement. As we delve into this artwork, we can almost hear hooves pounding against earth and feel tension in the air. It serves as a reminder of how art can transport us to different eras and evoke emotions long forgotten. Preserved within private collections until now, this rare engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on May 13th, 1854. Its inclusion in Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection ensures its accessibility to those who appreciate historical artistry at its finest.
