EDITORS COMMENTS
The War in Turkey, calling the People to Arms at Adrianople (engraving) captures a pivotal moment during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878. This powerful engraving by an unknown English School artist from the 19th century depicts a scene of urgency and determination. In the foreground, we see Turkish men dressed in traditional attire, responding to the call for arms in Adrianople (now Edirne), a city located in central Turkey. Their faces reflect both apprehension and resolve as they prepare themselves for battle against their enemies. The image showcases not only the military aspect of war but also highlights cultural elements. The intricate details of their clothing and weaponry provide insight into Turkish culture during this period. It serves as a reminder that conflicts like these often impact not just nations but also individuals who are called upon to defend their homeland. This engraving was originally published in The Illustrated London News on August 5,1876, providing readers with visual documentation of significant events unfolding across Europe and the Middle East. Today, it stands as a historical artifact that allows us to delve into this turbulent time in history. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece through its Fine Art Finder collection, ensuring that future generations can appreciate its artistic merit while gaining insights into past conflicts and cultures.
