A Journey into Herzegovina - Sleeping under Difficulties
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an evocative and poignant black and white engraving from the "Illustrated London News" of 1876. The image, created by an unknown artist, captures the harsh realities of travel and life in the Balkans during the Herzegovina Uprising. The scene depicts a group of weary travelers huddled around a campfire in the wilderness. The men, some clenching fists in anger or frustration, appear deep in slumber, while a dog and sheepdog keep watch. A rifle and guns are nearby, a reminder of the ongoing conflict between the insurgents and the Turks. The caption accompanying the engraving describes the "imperfect accommodation for travellers at night" and the "sufferings of the unhappy peasantry" in the highlands of the Adriatic shore. The image serves as a stark contrast to the luxurious accommodations and comforts of home, and encourages future English visitors to the region to be prepared for the challenges they may face. The black and white palette adds to the mood of the image, conveying a sense of timelessness and historical significance. The rough terrain, the animals, and the men all contribute to a sense of ruggedness and raw emotion, with the men's clenched fists and the dog's alert posture conveying a sense of annoyance, anger, and even fury. Despite the difficulties and challenges depicted in the image, there is a sense of camaraderie and community among the travelers, as they come together around the campfire to rest and recharge for the journey ahead. The image is a powerful reminder of the human spirit and our ability to endure even the most difficult circumstances.
