EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print, titled 'Disembarkment of the Algerians and Highlanders at Gallipoli' dates back to the 19th century and is an intriguing glimpse into the past. The image, taken from Cassells Illustrated Family Paper; London Weekly, depicts a moment of historical significance during the Crimean War. The scene unfolds at Gallipoli, located on the shores of the Marmara Sea in Turkey. Troops from both Britain and France are shown in the process of disembarking from their boats, marking their arrival in this foreign land. Among the soldiers, we can distinguish the Algerians and Highlanders, representing the colonial forces of France and Britain respectively. The Algerians, clad in traditional attire, are seen wading through the water, carrying their belongings and weapons. Their dark skin contrasts sharply with the lighter complexion of the Highlanders, who are dressed in their iconic kilts and bonnets. The Scottish soldiers, hailing from the Ottoman Empire, are shown stepping onto the shore, their determined expressions reflecting their readiness for the challenges that lie ahead. This engraving offers a fascinating insight into the military forces of the time, showcasing the diverse array of soldiers that made up the colonial armies of Britain and France. The print also highlights the logistical challenges of water transport during the 19th century, as the troops make their way from their boats to the solid ground. The 'Disembarkment of the Algerians and Highlanders at Gallipoli' is a poignant reminder of the complexities of the Crimean War and the far-reaching impact of colonialism. The print, though unsigned, is a valuable addition to any historical collection and a testament to the rich military history of the 19th century.
