EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, published in 'The Spanish and American Illustration' in 1877, depicts the poignant scene of Russian officers bidding farewell to their loved ones as they prepare to depart from St. Petersburg to join the Serbian army under the command of General Tchernaieff during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878. The officers, dressed in their military uniforms and carrying their personal belongings, are seen boarding a steam train at the bustling railway station. A crowd of well-wishers, including ladies in elegant dresses and men in military attire, gather around the platform, some waving handkerchiefs and others offering last-minute words of encouragement. The scene is filled with a sense of anticipation and excitement, as well as a hint of sadness and apprehension, as the officers embark on their journey to an uncertain future. The image is further enhanced by the addition of color, which brings the scene to life and adds depth and texture to the intricate details of the engraving. The chimney of the train belches out smoke, signaling the departure of the officers and the beginning of their military campaign against the Ottoman forces. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the contemporary history of the Russo-Turkish War and the sacrifices made by the Russian volunteers in the name of duty and patriotism.
