The War in the East, on the Road to the Front
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving from the 19th century that offers a glimpse into the tumultuous Russo-Turkish War. This historical print, now part of a private collection, was originally published in The Graphic on August 5,1876. The scene depicted in this artwork showcases various elements of life and conflict during this period. From peasants going about their daily chores along the Danube River to bustling street scenes with banks and railways, every detail adds depth to this composition. The topography of Hungary is beautifully captured, showcasing its diverse landscapes. Intriguingly, amidst all these peaceful activities lies an undercurrent of war preparation. Third-class soldiers can be seen signaling each other along the road as they make their way towards Vienna. A fisherman's hut stands as a reminder of simpler times before conflict engulfed Europe. This engraving not only highlights Austria's involvement but also emphasizes Hungarian identity through references to Magyar culture and people. It serves as both a documentation of history and an artistic representation of European society at that time. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece for future generations to appreciate and learn from. As we gaze upon "The War in the East" we are transported back in time - witnessing both everyday life and the impending storm that would soon change Europe forever.
