EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The War, Tirnova, the Ancient Bulgarian Capital, now occupied by the Russian Forces" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a glimpse into the Russo-Turkish War and its impact on Bulgaria. The image showcases an aerial view of Tirnova, once a proud and ancient Bulgarian capital. However, it is now under occupation by Russian forces during this tumultuous period. The architectural details of the city are beautifully depicted, highlighting its rich history and cultural significance. As we observe this scene from above, we can sense both awe and melancholy. The war has left its mark on Tirnova; buildings bear signs of destruction while others stand tall as symbols of resilience. This engraving serves as a reminder of the devastating consequences that conflict can bring upon even the most cherished places. Originally published in The Illustrated London News on July 21st, 1877, this illustration provides valuable insight into historical events that shaped Bulgaria's past. Preserved within private collections for years before being made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform today, it allows us to reflect upon our shared human experiences and learn from our collective history.
