The Disturbances in Crete, Views at Candia - A Glimpse into the Turmoil of 19th Century Greece
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, offers a poignant snapshot of the tumultuous events that unfolded during "The Disturbances in Crete". The print showcases various scenes from Candia (now known as Heraklion), one of the Greek islands caught up in this period of unrest. As we delve into the image, our eyes are drawn to a bustling harbor where Turkish guards stand watch. The once vibrant streets now lay ruined and deserted, bearing witness to the ravages of conflict. In contrast, military personnel such as the Royal Welsh Fusiliers can be seen leading operations from their headquarters. A general view reveals a fortified gate guarding access to Canea Bastion while nearby huts serve as shelter for officers and soldiers alike. Amidst this chaos, telegraph station guards maintain their posts diligently. Notably present are Bashi Bazouks - irregular Ottoman troops notorious for their ruthlessness. The scene evokes both admiration for those bravely defending their homeland and sympathy for innocent civilians caught up in these disturbances. It serves as a reminder of Europe's complex history and its impact on regions like Crete. Preserved within this historical engraving is an invaluable glimpse into a chapter often overlooked but deeply significant in shaping Greece's past.
