EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "TURKEY: KEEPING THE RING" captures a significant moment in history, depicting the Sultan of Turkey, Abdul-Hamid II, amidst a complex political landscape. Created in 1876 by an English cartoonist, this artwork symbolizes the challenging situation faced by the Ottoman Empire during that time. In the image, Abdul-Hamid II is portrayed as a lone figure left to confront various adversaries. On one side, his insurgent provinces stand against him while on the other side loom the European powers. The phrase "keeping the ring" suggests that these external forces are observing and refraining from direct interference in Turkish affairs. Abdul-Hamid II's attire signifies his authority and identity as he wears a traditional fez hat and wields a sword. The presence of a dog beside him may represent loyalty or perhaps serve as an allegory for protection against external threats. This artwork reflects the late 19th-century politics surrounding Turkey's struggle to maintain its sovereignty amid growing revolutionary movements within its borders and geopolitical pressures from Europe. It serves as a visual commentary on power dynamics and international relations during this period. As we contemplate this historical photograph print today, it offers us insight into past conflicts and reminds us of how nations have grappled with maintaining their independence while navigating complex alliances and rivalries across continents.
