EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a pivotal moment during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78, as King Carol I of Romania (1839-1914) personally leads his Romanian troops in the siege of Plevna. The Ottoman Empire, under the rule of Sultan Abdul Hamid II, had long held sway over the region, but growing nationalist sentiments in Romania and other Balkan states fueled a desire for independence. Carol I, a dynamic and ambitious leader, assumed command of the Russo-Romanian forces during the siege, riding out at the head of his troops to inspire courage and determination. In this image, the king is depicted pleading for mercy for the defeated Ottoman soldiers, demonstrating his compassion and respect for the rules of war. The Russo-Turkish War ultimately resulted in significant territorial gains for Romania, as well as the establishment of Carol I as a respected and revered monarch. His leadership during this critical period cemented his place in Romanian history and solidified the country's independence from Ottoman rule. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the courage and determination of King Carol I as he led his troops into battle against the Ottoman forces. The image captures the essence of a pivotal moment in Romanian history, as well as the complex dynamics of war and diplomacy during the late 19th century.
