EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking engraving by Sir John Tenniel captures a moment of triumph for the Turkish forces in a conflict with Cretan insurgents. The caption, "Who says 'Sick Man' now?" challenges any doubters of Turkey's strength and resilience.
Tenniel's satirical drawing is filled with intricate details and subtle humor, typical of his work for Punch magazine. The composition is dynamic, with Turkish soldiers celebrating their victory in the background while a defeated figure representing the Greek army slumps in defeat.
The historical context adds depth to this image, as it references the recall of the Greek army and the subsequent success of the Turkish forces. Tenniel masterfully conveys both the tension and jubilation of war through his skillful use of line and shading.
As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the power of political cartoons to capture complex emotions and societal issues in a single image. Tenniel's work continues to resonate with viewers today, serving as a timeless reminder that history is often shaped by those who dare to challenge conventional wisdom.
