EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to a tumultuous moment in history as we witness Bernard of Carinthia's shocking encounter with Turkish raids. The illustration, taken from the renowned Bibliotheque des Croisades by J-F. Michaud in 1877, beautifully captures the chaos and intensity of this fateful event. As our eyes delve into the scene, we find ourselves amidst a rugged landscape filled with towering rocks and steep canyons. It is within this treacherous terrain that Bernard and his army have been ambushed by an unseen enemy. With boulders being hurled down upon them from above, their surprise quickly turns into desperation as they struggle to defend themselves against a relentless barrage. The tension in the air is palpable as archers frantically release arrows towards their hidden assailants while soldiers valiantly return fire. The element of surprise has trapped them within this ravine-like canyon, leaving little room for escape or respite. Amidst the chaos, one cannot help but marvel at Gustave Dore's masterful lithography technique that brings every detail to life - from the expressions etched on each soldier's face to the sheer power behind every projectile launched through the air. This poignant image serves as a reminder of both the bravery and vulnerability inherent in warfare. It transports us back to an era where conflicts were fought not only on open battlefields but also within unforgiving landscapes where even nature itself seemed determined to aid their adversaries
