EDITORS COMMENTS
This historical cartoon print from Mary Evans Picture Library depicts a significant event in Turkish history - the disposal of Abdul-Hamid by the Young Turks in 1909. The image showcases a group of young, determined individuals carrying out the grim task of disposing of Abdul-Hamid's body, symbolizing a pivotal moment in Turkey's political landscape.
The cartoon captures the tension and drama of this historical event, as the Young Turks take matters into their own hands to remove Abdul-Hamid from power. The use of dark humor and satire adds an intriguing layer to this depiction, highlighting the complexities and controversies surrounding Abdul-Hamid's reign.
Through clever visual storytelling, this print offers viewers a glimpse into a turbulent period in Turkish history, shedding light on power struggles and political upheavals that shaped the nation.
