EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity and complexity of "The Siege of Plevna" during the 19th century. From a bird's-eye view, we are transported to the South-East where both Russian and Turkish positions come into focus. The engraving, created by an English School artist, provides a detailed illustration for The Graphic newspaper on December 1st, 1877. In this scene, one can feel the relief in the air as soldiers work tirelessly in trenches and sappers diligently carry out their tasks. The Plevna redoubt stands tall amidst a sea of activity, while nearby Gravitza Ridge Redoubts and Radichova Ridge add further layers to this strategic battlefield. As our eyes wander across the image, we witness infantry guards marching with determination towards their goal. Miners carefully navigate through treacherous terrain as they contribute to their comrades' efforts. This birds-eye perspective allows us to appreciate not only the scale but also the intricacy involved in such warfare. The contrast between Russian and Turkish positions is starkly evident from this viewpoint. It serves as a reminder of how geography plays a crucial role in shaping military strategies during conflicts like these. Overall, this print offers us an invaluable glimpse into history; it showcases bravery and resilience amid chaos while inviting us to ponder upon the human cost that comes with war.
