EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection takes us back to a significant moment in history - The Eastern Question and the fall of Midhat Pasha. The image is rich with details, showcasing three pivotal scenes that unfolded during this turbulent time. In the first frame, we witness Midhat Pasha leaving Constantinople, perhaps symbolizing the end of an era. As he departs, Edhem Pasha arrives at the Sublime Porte in a grand procession, signaling his appointment as the New Grand Vizier. This transition of power is visually striking and emphasizes the magnitude of change taking place. The third scene offers a glimpse into Midhat Pasha's residence in Constantinople. The impressive architecture of his house stands tall amidst lush grounds, providing insight into his opulent lifestyle. Interestingly, it is revealed that this very building was also where Hussein Avni and Raschid Pashas met their tragic fate through assassination in June 1876. The engraving technique used for this image adds a touch of Victorian charm and nostalgia to its overall aesthetic appeal. Its retro style transports us back to an era when engravements were highly valued as illustrative tools for capturing historical events. Overall, this print serves as both a visual delight and an educational piece on an important chapter in history - shedding light on political shifts within Istanbul while offering glimpses into architectural marvels and personal tragedies associated with key figures like Midhat Pasha.
