EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a significant moment during the Turkish Crisis of 1896. The image depicts Sir Philip Currie, the British Ambassador to Turkey, leaving the English Embassy at Therapia to attend a crucial conference at the Austrian Embassy in Buyukdere. The scene is set against the backdrop of Istanbul's stunning waterfront, with boats and tugboats dotting the tranquil waters. Sir Philip Currie can be seen standing on a boat, ready to embark on his journey across the Bosphorus Strait. His departure symbolizes an important diplomatic mission aimed at resolving tensions and finding solutions amidst this crisis. The artist, William Heysham Overend, skillfully portrays not only the physical setting but also conveys a sense of urgency through his meticulous attention to detail. The engraving beautifully captures both European and Middle Eastern elements that were present during this time period. This lithograph serves as a historical testament to international diplomacy and highlights how transportation played a vital role in facilitating communication between nations during times of crisis. It reminds us of the importance of dialogue and cooperation in resolving conflicts peacefully. Displayed within private collections today, this print continues to serve as a reminder of past challenges faced by diplomats while also offering insight into cultural exchanges between Europe and Central Turkey during that era.
