EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the city of Kars in northeast Turkey, as it appeared in 1893. The artist, J Godfrey, skillfully captures the essence of this historic location that witnessed a significant battle during the Crimean War. Kars became a battleground between Russian forces led by General Muraviev and Turkish troops under British General WF Williams in 1856. The image showcases the remarkable landscape surrounding Kars, with mountains towering majestically in the background. Perched atop a hill, the city's buildings stand proudly against the backdrop of nature's grandeur. This engraving is part of James Taylor's renowned work "The Age We Live In: A History of the Nineteenth Century" published by William Mackenzie in London. As we delve into this monochrome masterpiece, we are transported to an era long gone but not forgotten – the 19th century. It serves as a reminder of how geography and history intertwine to shape nations and their destinies. The print collector has preserved this exquisite piece for generations to come. Let us appreciate J Godfrey's artistic talent as he immortalizes Kars through his meticulous engravings. This print allows us to reflect upon both its natural beauty and its significance within historical events like the Crimean War.
