![[Russo-Turkish War.] Einzug der siegreichen Russischen Armée in Adrianopel den 20 August 1829.](jpegs/29807.jpg)
[Russo-Turkish War.] Einzug der siegreichen Russischen Armée in Adrianopel den 20 August 1829.
Geissler sen: del. Wunder sc.
[Nuremberg: Friedrich Campe, c.1829.]
Etching with original hand colour. Sheet 170 x 205mm (6¾ x 8"). Trimmed.
A scene at the end of the Russo-Turkish War of 1828-1829, showing the victorious Russians marching into Edirne, once Hadrianoplis, on the western limit of European Turkey. The war started after the Russians helped the Greek independence movement fight the Battle of Navarino in 1827: the Turks closed the Dardanelles to Russian ships and revoked the Akkerman Convention. The war ended with the Treaty of Adrianople, which increased Russian dominance around the Black Sea area and Georgia, and, most importantly, forced the Sultan to promise autonomy for Greece.

[Greek War of Independence.] Grosse Türkische Niederlage bei Thermopylae den 7.ten September 1821.
[Wunder sc.]
[c.1829.]
Etching with original hand colour. Sheet 170 x 240mm (6¾ x 9½"). Trimmed.
A scene from Greek War of Independence (1821-29), possibly the Battle of Alamana (April, not September, 1821), in which 1,500 Greeks, led by Athanasios Diakos & two other captains, fought to hold back the 8,000-strong Ottoman army but were quickly routed. Diakos with 48 men decided to fight on and resisted for several hours before being overwhelmed. Severely wounded he was bought to the Turkish General Vryonis who offered to make him an officer in the Turkish army. Diakos refused replying "I was born a Greek and I shall die a Greek". He was then taken away & impaled. This made him a national hero and to this day streets and statues all over Greece are named after him. The German legend underneath explains how the Greeks cleared the passes on the same ground as their famous ancestors (the 300 spartans etc). There was close quarter fighting and eventually the Greeks got the upper hand. A thousand Turks were killed battle flags captured 7 cannon and 300 wagons etc. Menin Pasha was killed by the Greek leader. Most of this is of course propaganda created by the German printers and German propaganda seven years after the event.
