EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century engraving, titled "The Greek Rout: an Incident of the Stampede on the Road to Larissa, Greece, 1897" transports us back in time to a moment of sheer panic and chaos. The scene depicts a harrowing event during which the Greek army was completely overwhelmed by fear. As if possessed by terror itself, a battery of artillery breaks free from its restraints and charges through everything in its path. In this tumultuous frenzy, horses and carts are violently hurled down an embankment while telegraph poles along the roadside meet their demise under the relentless force. The destructive power unleashed is captured with striking detail in this engraved image. With its Victorian-era illustrative technique and retro styling reminiscent of vintage art, this engraving offers us a glimpse into history's turbulent moments. It serves as both a testament to human vulnerability in times of crisis and as a reminder of our ability to endure even amidst overwhelming odds. As we gaze upon this historic artwork from Liszt Collection's archives, we cannot help but marvel at how it encapsulates not only the events that unfolded on that fateful day in 1897 but also the artistic craftsmanship prevalent during the 19th century. This piece stands as an enduring symbol of our fascination with capturing significant historical moments through engravement – preserving them for generations to come.
