The Eastern Question: A Symbolic Marriage of Nations". This engraving, created by Henry Marriott Paget in 1877, captures the essence of "The Eastern Question" during the Russo-Turkish War. The print showcases a momentous scene where two cultures intertwine through matrimony. In this elaborate illustration, we witness a grand marriage procession taking place in Kishinev (now Chisinau), Moldova. The bride and groom stand at the center, representing Russia and Bulgaria respectively. Adorned in traditional attire, they symbolize the union between Europe and Asia. Surrounding them is a bustling camp filled with military personnel from both nations. Horses are being prepared for their journey as soldiers go about their duties. This visual spectacle emphasizes the significance of this alliance amidst geopolitical tensions known as "The Eastern Question".

It serves as a testament to his artistic prowess and ability to convey historical narratives through engravings. This remarkable piece not only commemorates an important moment in history but also highlights cultural diversity and unity among nations. It reminds us that even during times of conflict, love can bridge divides and foster understanding between different societies.
