EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "With the Russians, crossing the Danube from Simnitza to Sistova, 27 June, a Boat struck by a Turkish Shell" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures the intensity and drama of the Russo-Turkish War. The scene unfolds on the mighty River Danube as Russian soldiers bravely navigate their way across its treacherous waters. However, amidst this daring river crossing, chaos erupts when a Turkish shell strikes one of their boats. The impact is vividly portrayed with smoke billowing into the air and debris flying everywhere. This engraving was originally published as an illustration for The Graphic on July 14th, 1877. It serves as both a historical record and a testament to human resilience during times of conflict. The image encapsulates not only the bravery of these Russian soldiers but also highlights the dangers they faced while attempting such maneuvers. As we gaze upon this artwork today, it reminds us of how far we have come since those tumultuous times. It prompts reflection on our shared history and serves as a reminder that even in moments of adversity, humanity has always found ways to overcome challenges together.
