EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Montenegro and Europe" takes us back to the historical events of May 4th, 1913. The image showcases a powerful back cover illustration from Le Petit Journal, supplement illustre, created by an anonymous French artist from the 20th century. The scene depicted in this vibrant color lithograph captures the intense atmosphere of war during the First Balkan War. Montenegro, represented by its brave soldiers dressed in traditional costumes and military uniforms, has just captured the city of Scutari (also known as Shkoder or Scodra) from Ottoman and Albanian forces. In this moment frozen in time, we witness both heroism and tragedy. Some soldiers are seen injured or dead on the battlefield while others fight valiantly with their helmets, armor, swords, and kepis. Their determination is palpable as they defend their homeland against formidable opponents. However, despite their victory at Scutari, political circumstances forced Montenegro to relinquish control over the city to Albania following negotiations at the London Conference of Ambassadors later that month. This evocative artwork not only serves as a testament to Montenegro's bravery but also highlights the complex history and shifting borders within Europe during this tumultuous period. It reminds us of the sacrifices made by countless individuals caught up in conflicts that shaped our world today.
