The War in the East, Sketches under Fire, Shells from Widdin
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a moment of intense conflict during the Russo-Turkish War in the 19th century. This engraving by an English School artist depicts a scene filled with chaos and danger. In this print, we witness the relentless naval bombardment on the Bulgarian city of Widdin (also known as Vidin) by Russian forces. The artist's skilled hand brings to life the terrifying power of shells raining down upon both land and sea. The image showcases not only the destructive force of war but also highlights the bravery and resilience of troops serving in these perilous conditions. The level of detail is remarkable; one can almost feel the heat and hear explosions reverberating through every stroke. It serves as a stark reminder that war spares no one, affecting soldiers and civilians alike. This historical artwork was originally published in The Graphic on June 23rd, 1877, providing readers with firsthand visual accounts from sketch artists who risked their lives to document these events. Now part of a private collection, this engraving stands as a testament to human endurance amidst adversity. Through "The War in the East" viewers are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in history—a vivid portrayal that reminds us never to forget those who have fought for freedom and peace.
