EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful lithograph captures the aftermath of the siege of Plevna, Bulgaria in 1877 during the Russo-Turkish War. The image depicts a scene of immense tragedy and loss as the dead are being recovered from the battlefield. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print is now part of a private collection. The composition showcases wounded soldiers with injured limbs, highlighting the brutal reality of war. Russian troops can be seen alongside Asian fighters, representing their involvement in this conflict. The village walls serve as a backdrop to this somber tableau, emphasizing how close these devastating events took place to civilian life. Intriguingly, a female figure stands out among those retrieving bodies from ox-drawn carts. Her presence suggests that women played an active role in assisting with recovery efforts during times of war. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; each figure conveys raw emotion and despair. This engraving serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression, providing viewers with insight into one of many tragic moments throughout history. Ken Welsh's lithograph reminds us not only of past conflicts but also prompts reflection on humanity's capacity for destruction and resilience. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst chaos and suffering, there is always hope for healing and recovery.
