The Circassians, a proud and resilient people, have left their mark on history through their bravery and cultural contributions. From the picturesque landscapes of Rustchuk, Rasgrad, Shumla, Kavarna, and the River Lom to the exotic lands of Asia, they have always been at the forefront. In times of war, they were known for their exceptional drilling skills. The image drilling evokes a sense of discipline and unity that made them formidable warriors. Their raids on enemy shores at Nicopolis showcased their courage and determination in defending their homeland. Captured in a vibrant color photo titled "Tcherkess, Circassien, " we see the distinct features that define this unique ethnic group. The chromolitho artwork simply titled "Circassians" captures the essence of their rich culture and heritage. A cruise in the Black Sea takes us on an enchanting journey where our artists documented scenes from Sistova to Pavolo. They also accompanied Turkish forces between Rustchuck and Shumla while capturing moments in Constantinople as well as with the Turkish Army in Asia. These engravings provide glimpses into everyday life during those tumultuous times. The Georgian, Circassian, and Armenian races are beautifully depicted in a colored engraving highlighting diversity within these regions. It serves as a reminder that despite differences, unity can be found among various cultures. With unwavering loyalty towards Turkey during conflicts with Russia or other adversaries like Soukoum Kaleh - where fierce battles took place - Circassians stood side by side with Turks as brothers-in-arms. Notable figures such as Schamyl are immortalized through engravings paying tribute to his leadership qualities and influence over his people. His legacy lives on amongst generations who continue to honor his memory. Even amidst war-torn landscapes like Nicopolis - where billeting was necessary - Circassians maintained their dignity and resilience, adapting to challenging circumstances.
