Title

"The Moral of the Russo-Turkish War"

Description

1878 “Moral of the Russo-Turkish War.” Full-page cartoon in Harper’s Weekly, July 13, 1878. Page 553. Unknown source.

Do I have my history right that the Ottoman gentlemen with a loan from Great Britain is avoiding danger and has left his Turkish ally to suffer at the hands of the Russian bear? For me, the upshot of this strong cartoon is: readers of Harper’s in 1878 knew this fable of “The Bear and the Two Travelers.” Life has changed since then!
