First Balkan War (1912 - 1913) - Battle of Bonarchisni
The Battle of Bonarchisni, 16th - 21st October 1912. The First Balkan War, which lasted from October 1912 to May 1913, pitted the Balkan League (Serbia, Montenegro, Greece, and Bulgaria) against the Ottoman Empire. The combined armies of the Balkan states overcame the numerically inferior and strategically disadvantaged Ottoman armies, and achieved rapid success. As a result of the war, almost all remaining European territories of the Ottoman Empire were captured and partitioned among the allies, and an independent Albanian state set up. Despite their success, the Balkan states were unsatisfied with the peace settlement, and the tensions among them, with the unifying Ottoman threat gone, would soon result in the Second Balkan War

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful image captures the intensity and chaos of the Battle of Bonarchisni during the First Balkan War in October 1912. The Battle of Bonarchisni, fought between the 16th and 21st of October, was one of the decisive engagements of the war, which saw the combined forces of the Balkan League - comprised of Serbia, Montenegro, Greece, and Bulgaria - overpower the numerically inferior and strategically disadvantaged Ottoman armies. The Ottoman Empire, which had ruled Europe's southernmost tip for centuries, was on the brink of collapse. The photograph shows the moment when the Balkan forces, positioned high above the valley, bombard the Ottoman defenses below. The smoke from the explosions fills the sky, and the ground below is a chaotic scene of dust, debris, and the clash of arms. The Ottoman positions, located at the base of the hill, are under relentless attack, and the outcome of the battle seems inevitable. The First Balkan War, which lasted from October 1912 to May 1913, resulted in the capture and partitioning of almost all remaining European territories of the Ottoman Empire among the allies. An independent Albanian state was also established. However, despite their success, the Balkan states were unsatisfied with the peace settlement, and the tensions among them, with the unifying Ottoman threat gone, would soon result in the Second Balkan War. This image serves as a poignant reminder of the complex and turbulent history of the Balkans and the profound impact of the First Balkan War on the region.
