EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "The Armenian Crisis" offers a glimpse into a tumultuous period in history. Created by Amedee Forestier in 1895, this print captures the essence of the Kurdish mountaineers crossing a gorge as they approach their destination. Dressed in traditional attire, these figures exude both strength and grace. The scene is set against the backdrop of the Kalu River, with its rushing waters adding an element of dynamism to the composition. The topography surrounding them showcases the rugged beauty of Kurdistan, while also hinting at the challenges faced by those traversing through such terrain. What truly stands out in this image is the depiction of dance. As if defying their arduous journey, some Kurds are captured mid-dance - an expression of cultural resilience amidst crisis. Their movements seem to echo through time, reminding us that even during times of turmoil, traditions can provide solace and unity. Forestier's skillful engraving brings every detail to life; from intricate patterns on clothing to expressions on faces filled with determination or joy. This print serves as a visual testament to historical events covered by The Illustrated London News back in 1895. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, we are reminded not only of past conflicts but also how art has always been instrumental in documenting and shedding light on important moments throughout history.
