The Renewed Conflict in Crete
EDITORS COMMENTS
lithograph by Henry Charles Seppings Wright captures a dramatic scene amidst the moonlit Greek islands. The print, originally published in The Illustrated London News in 1898, depicts a tumultuous moment during the ongoing conflict on the island of Crete. In this image, we see ships and boats stationed along the coastal area of Candia (now Heraklion), as they prepare for an attack from seaward. The Royal Navy is present to protect and support Cretan Christians who are under threat from Bashi Bazouks, irregular Ottoman troops notorious for their brutality. The moonlight casts an ethereal glow over the scene, illuminating every detail of this maritime operation. HMS Camperdown stands tall among other naval vessels while refugees anxiously await transport to safety. This engraving not only showcases the intensity of battle but also highlights the resilience and determination of those involved. Wright's skillful depiction transports us back to this critical moment in European history when tensions ran high between Greece and Ottoman-controlled Crete. Through his artistry, he brings to life a significant episode that shaped both local and international politics. This historical print serves as a testament to the power of visual storytelling and reminds us of our shared human experiences during times of conflict.
