EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Constantinople, or the final greed of the Huns" transports us back to a significant moment in history during the First World War. The image captures Serbian soldiers bravely halting the German advance on Constantinople (now Istanbul), symbolizing their determination and resilience against enemy forces. The front cover of "Le Petit Journal Supplement Illustre" a renowned French newspaper from October 31,1915, showcases this powerful scene. The composition is rich in color and design, highlighting the intensity of warfare with bayonets prominently displayed along the path. Intriguingly, the caption beneath reads: "Oui!. . . mais il y a des baionnettes sur le chemin!" meaning "Yes, but there are bayonets blocking the way". This phrase emphasizes that despite facing formidable opponents like Germany's Huns, these brave men will not yield easily. The unknown creator skillfully combines graphic design elements with historical significance to create an impactful visual narrative. Through this photograph, we witness both individual bravery and collective resistance as Serbian soldiers stand united against foreign invaders. As we reflect upon this image today, it serves as a reminder of human strength amidst adversity and highlights Serbia's crucial role in defending Constantinople during one of history's most devastating conflicts – World War I.
