EDITORS COMMENTS
This sketch, titled 'The War in Herzegovina: Council of War at Peco Pavlovitch's Camp,' dates back to 1876 and was created by an unknown artist. The image was sent to the Illustrated London News by their special correspondent, Melton Prior, who was reporting from the Herzegovina region during the Russo-Turkish War. The council of war depicted in the sketch took place at Peco Pavlovitch's camp near Piva, close to Gorausko and the battlefield of Moralovitza. The insurgent chiefs, including Crsto Pavlovitch, Bogdan Simonitch, Milovan Bochkovitch, and Lazar Sotchitza, gathered to discuss operations they intended to carry out during the winter. Peco Pavlovitch, a brave and determined chief, was eager to launch an attack and thwart the Turkish plans. However, his fellow chiefs were hesitant due to their numerical disadvantage. The discussion became heated as both sides passionately presented their arguments. Among the chiefs, Lazar Sotchitza stood out with his manliness and composure, intently listening to the debates. The sketch provides a fascinating glimpse into the strategic planning and decision-making processes of the insurgent leaders during a pivotal moment in the war. This historical artifact offers valuable insights into the events of the Russo-Turkish War and the roles of key figures like Peco Pavlovitch and Lazar Sotchitza. The sketch remains an essential piece of documentation and a testament to the courage and determination of those involved in the conflict.
