EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The War, Cossacks at Braila crossing the Danube, under Cover of a Russian Battery, to destroy Turkish Posts" transports us back to the 19th century during the Russo-Turkish War. The image depicts a pivotal moment in history when Cossack soldiers strategically navigate their way across the mighty River Danube. Underneath the protective shield of a Russian battery, these brave warriors are on a mission to dismantle Turkish posts that stand as obstacles in their path. The intensity and determination etched onto their faces reveal their unwavering commitment to victory. The scene is set against the backdrop of Romania's picturesque town of Braila. As we gaze upon this print from an English School collection, we can almost feel ourselves being swept away by the currents of history unfolding before our eyes. This artwork was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on May 26th, 1877. Its inclusion in this renowned publication speaks volumes about its significance as both a historical record and an artistic masterpiece. As viewers today, we are reminded of Europe's tumultuous past and how conflicts have shaped its landscape. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of bravery amidst chaos and highlights the resilience displayed by those who fought for their nations during times of war.
