First Balkan War (1912 - 1913) - Hand-to-hand combat
Hand-to-hand combat during the First Balkan War as Greek troops overun a Turkish gun battery. The war 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 evocative image captures the raw intensity and determination of hand-to-hand combat during the First Balkan War (1912-1913), as Greek troops storm a Turkish gun battery. The First Balkan War was a pivotal moment in European history, pitting the Balkan League (comprised of Serbia, Montenegro, Greece, and Bulgaria) against the Ottoman Empire. The combined forces of the Balkan states, though numerically inferior and strategically disadvantaged, achieved rapid success, overcoming the Ottoman armies and capturing almost all remaining European territories of the Ottoman Empire. The peace settlement that followed saw the partitioning of these territories among the allies and the establishment of an independent Albanian state. Despite their triumph, the Balkan states were ultimately unsatisfied with the peace settlement, and the tensions among them, now free from the unifying threat of the Ottoman Empire, would soon erupt into the Second Balkan War. This powerful photograph serves as a symbolic reminder of the archetypal soldier in the uniform of the time, with the Greek troops dressed in their traditional costume and the Turkish soldiers wearing their distinctive fez hats. The image of the Greek soldiers charging with bayonets fixed and the Turkish troops bombarding them from their positions is a poignant representation of the brutal realities of war and the enduring spirit of those who fought in it." This image is a historical record of a significant moment in the First Balkan War, and is rich in symbolism and cultural significance. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing insight into the costumes, weapons, and tactics of the soldiers involved in this pivotal conflict.
