EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful engraving captures the heart-wrenching scene of Russian wounded soldiers desperately pleading to be carried from the field of battle during the Russo-Turkish War. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the harrowing reality faced by these brave men on the Balkans' Shipka Pass. The image portrays a chaotic and devastating aftermath of war, with injured soldiers strewn across the battlefield. Their faces etched with pain and despair, they reach out for help, begging to be transported away from this scene of destruction. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable as he depicts every nuance of their suffering. In this poignant depiction, ambulances can be seen in the background while horses are utilized as means of transport for these wounded warriors. It serves as a stark reminder that even amidst such violence and chaos, humanity still prevails through acts of compassion and aid. The engraving was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on September 1st, 1877. Its inclusion in this publication aimed to shed light on the harsh realities faced by those involved in conflicts far from home. As we gaze upon this historical artwork today, it evokes a sense of empathy towards those who have suffered throughout history due to warfare. It stands as a testament to both human resilience and our collective responsibility to ensure peace prevails over conflict wherever possible.
