EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enduring beauty and historical significance of the Crimean War Memorial, also known as the Scutari Monument, located in the English Cemetery at Haidar Pasha in Istanbul, Turkey. Designed by the renowned Italian sculptor Baron Carlo Marochetti (1805-1867), the memorial was inaugurated in 1856, following the end of the Crimean War (1853-1856). The monument stands as a poignant reminder of the thousands of British soldiers who lost their lives during the conflict. The memorial's striking design features an obelisk topped with a winged Victory figure, surrounded by four caryatids and two angels, symbolizing grief and mourning. The caryatids, each representing a different emotion - courage, hope, despair, and sorrow - add a sense of elegance and grace to the memorial. The English Cemetery at Haidar Pasha, a suburb of Istanbul between Uskudar (Scutari) and Kadikoy, is the final resting place for many British soldiers, nurses, and civilians who perished during the Crimean War. The monument serves as a testament to their sacrifice and bravery, as well as the enduring bond between Turkey and the United Kingdom. This photograph, taken in the 1920s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time of war, loss, and healing. The monument's timeless beauty and historical significance continue to draw visitors from around the world, making it a must-see attraction in Istanbul.
