EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The War, Turks attacking the Russian Position in the Shipka Pass" takes us back to a significant moment in history during the Russo-Turkish War. Created by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, this print showcases a dramatic scene of military action. In this intense battle scene, we witness Turkish forces relentlessly advancing towards the Russian position in Bulgaria's Shipka Pass. The topography of the pass is beautifully depicted, with rugged mountains and dense forests serving as a backdrop to this fierce confrontation. The engraving highlights the strategic importance of Shipka Pass as both sides fight for control over its key position. Russian batteries can be seen defending their ground against waves of Turkish soldiers determined to break through their lines. The use of wood as material becomes apparent in various forms throughout this artwork - from timber structures dotting the landscape to firewood being utilized for kindling fires amidst the chaos. This detail adds depth and authenticity to our understanding of warfare during that era. "The War, Turks attacking the Russian Position in the Shipka Pass" is not just an exquisite piece of art but also serves as a historical document capturing one chapter within a larger conflict. It was originally published in The Illustrated London News on September 15th, 1877 – forever immortalizing this critical moment on paper.
