The sitting of the Congress of Berlin, 1878
The sitting of the Congress of Berlin, 1878. The Congress of Berlin was a meeting of the leading statesmen of the European Great Powers and the Ottoman Empire in Berlin in 1878. In the wake of the Russo-Turkish War (1877-78), the meetings aim was to reorganise the countries of the Balkans. Otto von Bismarck, who led the Congress, undertook to balance the distinct interests of Britain, Russia and Austria-Hungary.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the sitting of the Congress of Berlin in 1878. This congress brought together influential statesmen from the European Great Powers and the Ottoman Empire to reorganize the countries of the Balkans following the Russo-Turkish War. Led by Otto von Bismarck, this meeting aimed to balance the distinct interests of Britain, Russia, and Austria-Hungary. However, it also intensified differences between Russia and Austria-Hungary while raising questions about nationality in the Balkans. In this engraving, we see a group of distinguished men gathered around a table engaged in intense political discussions. Their serious expressions reflect their commitment to finding diplomatic solutions for a region plagued by conflict. The location is Berlin, where these powerful figures convened to shape Europe's future. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of historical authenticity to this nineteenth-century scene captured by an unknown creator. As we observe this image today, we are reminded of how politics has shaped our world throughout time. It serves as a testament to diplomacy's role in resolving complex international issues and highlights key players who left indelible marks on history.
