The Evacuation of Crete by the Turks, the First Transport leaving Candia
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph captures a significant moment in history - the evacuation of Crete by the Turks. The image showcases the first transport departing from Candia, as illustrated for The Graphic on November 12,1898. The scene is filled with action and emotion as Turkish troops embark on a frigate named HMS Hazard. They are seen boarding alongside their fellow soldiers from different combat units. In this maritime setting, one can witness the collaboration between naval forces and army personnel during this critical operation. The composition highlights the grandeur of HMS Empress of India, another vessel involved in this historic event. As it stands tall in Suda Bay, Greece, it serves as a symbol of power and authority amidst an atmosphere charged with tension. This print not only documents a pivotal moment but also provides insight into European politics at that time. It sheds light on the conflicts between nations and their impact on smaller regions like Crete. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this piece from its private collection to allow us to delve into history's depths through art. With every detail meticulously engraved, we are transported back to witness firsthand how events unfolded during this crucial chapter in Greek-Turkish relations. As we gaze upon this lithograph today, we can appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance – reminding us that even centuries later, images have an incredible ability to evoke emotions and tell stories that transcend time itself.
