EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Constantinople, the Outrage on Mr Burness" takes us back to a significant event in history. Created by Harry Hamilton Johnston in 1880, this print captures a moment of intense emotion and turmoil. The scene is set in Constantinople (now Istanbul), Turkey, where an outrageous crime has taken place. The image depicts the aftermath of an attack on Mr Burness, whose identity remains shrouded in mystery. As we gaze at the engraving, we are transported to a time when tensions between Europe and the Middle East were palpable. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched with precision brings life to this historical incident. We can almost feel the fear and confusion that permeate the air as locals gather around Mr Burness. Their Turkish culture juxtaposed against European influences creates a fascinating visual contrast. "Constantinople, the Outrage on Mr Burness" serves as both a window into history and an exploration of cultural dynamics during that era. It reminds us of how art can capture not only beauty but also moments of conflict and injustice. As we delve deeper into this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, let it serve as a reminder that history holds countless stories waiting to be discovered through artistic expression.
