EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "With the Russians, General Skobeleff sleeping in the Trenches before Plevna" we are transported back to a significant moment during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877. The image depicts General Skobeleff, a revered Russian military leader, finding solace amidst the chaos and exhaustion of battle. The scene unfolds within the confines of a trench near Plevna, where soldiers rest their weary bodies after days of intense fighting. In this vulnerable state, General Skobeleff is seen peacefully slumbering, his face illuminated by the soft glow of moonlight filtering through billowing smoke. His uniform bears signs of wear and tear, evidence of his unwavering dedication to duty. This engraving captures not only the physical toll war takes on individuals but also highlights moments of respite and humanity that emerge even in such dire circumstances. It serves as a poignant reminder that even great leaders like General Skobeleff require moments of rest to gather strength for what lies ahead. Created by an English artist from the 19th century and now part of a private collection, this artwork was originally published in The Graphic on December 8th, 1877. Its inclusion in Look and Learn's Illustrated Papers Collection ensures its preservation for future generations to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of General Skobeleff's bravery but also reflect on the sacrifices made
