Saved - A Glimpse into the Reign of Terror at Constantinople
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithographic print, titled "Saved" offers a poignant scene from the tumultuous period known as the Reign of Terror in Constantinople. Created by Henry Marriott Paget and published in The Graphic on October 17,1896, this artwork transports us back to a time when chaos reigned supreme. The image depicts a group of Armenian porters bidding farewell to their maritime escape aboard a steamer. As they prepare to depart from the shores of Constantinople, their faces reflect both relief and trepidation. They have managed to escape the clutches of violence and persecution that plagued this once-great city. At the center of attention stands Mr. Cobb, an honorable British postmaster who played a pivotal role in saving these individuals from certain doom. His presence symbolizes hope amidst despair and serves as a reminder that compassion knows no borders. The engraving skillfully captures the essence of Turkish culture while also highlighting its European influences. It showcases Istanbul's unique position as a bridge between Europe and the Middle East—a melting pot where diverse cultures intertwine. Through this evocative artwork, we are transported to Central Turkey during one of history's darkest chapters. It reminds us not only of humanity's capacity for cruelty but also our ability to extend kindness even in times of great adversity. This print is part of Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection—an invaluable resource for those seeking glimpses into
