EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Random Notes and Sketches Made on the Way to Constantinople" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into a journey through Europe and the Middle East. The print showcases an array of intricate sketches and notes that were made during this adventurous expedition. As we delve into the details, we are transported along the Danube River, passing through various countries such as Romania, Serbia, and Wallachia. The iron gate stands tall in all its grandeur while Fort Elizabeth guards its surroundings with strength. Semlin and Orsova appear in delicate strokes, capturing their unique topography. The artist's keen eye also captures glimpses of Turkish culture along the way. From traditional Turkish attire to architectural wonders found in Central Turkey, these sketches provide insight into both European and Middle Eastern influences present in this region. With each stroke of the pen or pencil, this engraving tells a story of exploration and discovery. It invites us to imagine ourselves embarking on this remarkable journey towards Constantinople (now Istanbul), where East meets West. Preserved within a private collection, this artwork serves as a testament to historical documentation through artistry. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of these landscapes but also gain knowledge about different cultures that coexist harmoniously along this route between Belgrade and Constantinople.
