EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historical map of the Gallipoli Peninsula in 1919, created by George Philip & Son Ltd. The peninsula, located in western Turkey, was a significant battleground during the First World War from 1914 to 1919, resulting in heavy casualties on both sides. The map highlights fortified towns, forts, and batteries that played crucial roles during this intense conflict. Taken from "The History of the Great European War: its causes and effects". Volume IV by W. Stanley Macbean Knight, published by Caxton Publishing Company Limited in London in 1919, this print provides valuable insight into the geography and strategic features of the region at that time. The Gallipoli campaign was part of a larger effort to control access to the Dardanelles Strait and ultimately gain control over Constantinople (now Istanbul). This map serves as a reminder of the immense challenges faced by soldiers fighting along these treacherous coastal areas. With its monochrome aesthetic and detailed depiction of geographical features, this print transports us back to an era marked by war and turmoil. It is a testament to the bravery and sacrifice exhibited by those who fought on both sides during one of history's most devastating conflicts – World War I.
