Arab Tabia, Silistria, 1854. Creator: Unknown
Arab Tabia, Silistria, 1854. Crimean War. Interior of Arab Tabia, as it remains since the 25th of June, when the siege of Silistria was abandoned by the Russians...View of Arab Tabia and Illanli, from the Russian batteries on the left of the Turkish positions. Arab Tabia is on the left of the drawing, Illanli on the right, and Silistria in the distance. The covered-way of the Russians leads up from the left of the drawing, and turns from the vale up the sides, so as to be as much as possible out of the way of shells. The covered-way has little holes in the sides, where the Russians ensconced themselves. The two tunnel-like apertures are for cooking'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854

EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white image, titled 'Interior of Arab Tabia, as it remains since the 25th of June, when the siege of Silistria was abandoned by the Russians,' is an engraving from the renowned 'Illustrated London News' published in 1854. The photograph offers a glimpse into the aftermath of the Siege of Silistria during the Crimean War. The scene depicts the interior of Arab Tabia, a fortified position located on the left side of the drawing, with Illanli on the right and Silistria in the distance. During the siege, the Russians constructed a covered-way, a narrow passageway, to protect themselves from enemy fire. The passageway is visible in the image, turning from the vale up the sides of the hill. The sides of the covered-way have small holes where Russian soldiers took refuge. Two tunnel-like apertures are also visible, used for cooking. The fortifications were essential for the defense of the disputed territory, with both sides vying for control during the Crimean War. The image showcases the strategic importance of these fortifications, as well as the ingenuity of the soldiers in constructing them. The scene is reminiscent of the harsh realities of warfare during the 19th century, with soldiers huddled in trenches, rifles at the ready, and ammunition and cannonballs in abundance. The image is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made during the Siege of Silistria and the larger Crimean War. The photograph, though unsigned, is a valuable historical document that offers insight into the military strategies and daily life of soldiers during this tumultuous period in history.
