EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'Oltenitza, from Turtukai - from an original drawing, 1854,' depicts a scene of intense activity along the Danube River during the Crimean War. The photograph, an engraving from an original drawing made by Major Matthew Dixon, offers a glimpse into the logistical preparations of the Ottoman forces under the command of Field Marshal and Governor Omar Pasha. In the foreground, Omar Pasha, a prominent figure in the Ottoman Empire, is seen supervising the loading of artillery and equipment onto ships. The towns of Oltenita and Tutrakan, located on opposite sides of the Danube in modern-day Romania, serve as the backdrop to this bustling scene. Major Dixon, the artist, skillfully captures the energy and urgency of the moment, with soldiers and horsemen marching in the background, and boats laden with supplies and animals making their way to the ships. The heavy artillery and cannons, essential for the defense of the Ottoman Empire, are meticulously loaded onto the naval vessel, ensuring that every piece is securely in place. This image, kindly provided by Lord Dudley Coutts Stuart, M.P., was originally published in the Illustrated London News in 1854. The intricate details of the drawing, from the individual soldiers and horses to the textures of the clothing and equipment, offer a unique and fascinating glimpse into the military strategies of the Crimean War era. The image is a testament to the importance of logistics and preparation in the context of warfare, and serves as a reminder of the pivotal role that the Ottoman Empire played during this significant historical period.
