EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print depicts the Austrian seaport town of Risano, Dalmatia, during the turbulent year of 1876. The image, taken from the renowned "Illustrated London News," captures the bustling harbor filled with boats and ships, with the ominous backdrop of nearby hills and mountains. The caption beneath the print reads, "The War in the Herzegovina: Risano, Dalmatia, 1876. Austrian seaport town 'from which the insurgents have obtained supplies to carry on this struggle.' The continuance of this fierce struggle of the insurgent Christian subjects of Turkey against their Mohammedan rulers, with the apparent failure of the peaceful intervention attempted by Austria and the other great Powers, now threatens a wider disturbance. The Turkish Government contemplates going to war against the half-independent principalities of Servia and Montenegro, to punish them for giving assistance to the revolt of Herzegovina.' The print offers a glimpse into the geopolitical tensions of the 19th century Balkans, as the region was embroiled in a complex web of religious and political conflicts. The Adriatic Sea, a vital trade route, played a significant role in the transportation of supplies and resources to fuel the ongoing uprisings. The print serves as a poignant reminder of the historical significance of this period and the far-reaching consequences of the Herzegovina Uprising. The print's intricate engraving technique showcases the skill and artistry of the unknown artist, capturing the essence of the scene with remarkable detail. The boats and ships in the harbor, the hills and mountains in the background, and the people going about their daily lives, all come together to create a compelling and evocative image. This print is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on the history of the Balkans, the 19th century, or the art of engraving.
