EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sketches of the War in Armenia" takes us back to a significant moment in history, specifically during the Russo-Turkish War. The engraving, created by Charles Robinson in 1877, offers a glimpse into the intense battlefields of Armenia. The image showcases Russian soldiers retreating while under fire from Turkish forces led by Moukhtar Pasha. As daybreak illuminates the scene, we witness skirmishes and intense fighting around a Turkish redoubt. A Krupp gun is seen firing as Turks attack a Russian camp nearby. The composition not only captures the chaos and violence of war but also highlights the cultural significance of this conflict for Turkey and its central region. Deve Boyoun, Erzurum (Erzeroum), and other locations mentioned remind us that this was not just an isolated event but part of a larger struggle between nations. As we delve into this historical photograph, it serves as a reminder of Europe's involvement in conflicts beyond its borders during that era. It sheds light on Middle Eastern dynamics at the time and their impact on both European Union countries and those within Central Turkey. Bridgeman Images has preserved this valuable piece from their Look and Learn/Illustrated Papers Collection, allowing us to reflect upon past events that have shaped our world today.
