EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting print commemorates the pivotal Battle of Navarino, which took place on October 20th, 1827, during the Greek War of Independence (1821-1832). The battle marked a significant turning point in the war as the combined British and French fleet, under the command of Admiral Edward Codrington and Vice-Admiral Thomas Cochrane, decisively defeated the Ottoman navy, effectively ending the Ottoman naval threat to the Greek rebels. The image depicts the intense moment of the battle, with the British and French ships, including frigates and brigantines, engaging the Ottoman fleet in a fierce struggle. The Ottoman craft, with their distinctive crescent-shaped banners fluttering in the wind, are shown being overwhelmed by the superior firepower and maneuverability of the European vessels. The urban landscape of Navarino Bay in the background adds a sense of scale and grandeur to the scene, as well as highlighting the importance of naval power in the conflict. The military might of both sides is on full display, with soldiers and servicemen manning the cannons and preparing for the next volley. The Battle of Navarino was a decisive victory for the Greek rebels and their European allies, and it paved the way for the eventual recognition of Greek independence by the major European powers. This engraving serves as a testament to the courage and determination of those who fought for freedom and self-determination during the Greek War of Independence.
