The Turks are upon us!
EDITORS COMMENTS
- A Gripping Moment in Greek History In this lithograph titled "The Turks are upon us! The Greek Stampede to Larissa" artist William Hatherell takes us back to a dramatic chapter in Greece's past. The scene, originally published in The Graphic in 1897, depicts the harrowing days of war as the Turkish forces advance towards Larissa. Hatherell skillfully captures the chaos and urgency of the moment. Fear-stricken Greeks can be seen fleeing their homes, desperately seeking refuge from the impending invasion. Their faces etched with terror, they rush through narrow streets and open fields, their determination palpable. The composition is filled with tension and movement; every figure seems caught up in a frenzied stampede for survival. Horses gallop wildly, pulling carts laden with belongings hastily gathered by families on their way to safety. Dust clouds rise from underfoot as people trample over one another, driven by an instinctive need to escape. This engraving serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and courage displayed by ordinary individuals during times of conflict. It encapsulates both the horrors faced by those caught up in war and their unwavering spirit to protect what they hold dear – family, home, and freedom. As we gaze upon this historical print today, let it serve as a tribute to all those who have endured similar trials throughout history while reminding us of our collective responsibility to strive for peace and understanding among nations.
