EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a significant moment from the Russo-Turkish War, an intense conflict that took place in the late 19th century. The image showcases a scene of great importance as it depicts the despatch of British troops to aid in the war effort. The focal point of the print is a majestic British squadron led by their ceremonial flagship, Achilles. With torches ablaze and maritime prowess on full display, this formidable fleet sets sail across the Sea of Marmora towards its destination - Tuzla, Turkey. As they make their way through these historic waters, surrounded by boats and tugboats filled with soldiers and supplies, one cannot help but be awed by the sheer magnitude of this military operation. The Russian Imperial Guard watches intently from afar as they witness this show of force. Intricate details bring life to every element within this composition - from the grandeur of naval school cadets aboard Temeraire to Sultan's presence at Yesilkoy. This engraving not only highlights key figures such as His Royal Highness and Her Royal Highness but also offers glimpses into Turkish culture amidst a backdrop that bridges Europe and Middle Eastern influences. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this historical artwork for us all to appreciate. It serves as both a testament to human resilience during times of conflict and an invitation for us to reflect upon our shared history.
