Wishful Thinking by the British on the Gallipoli Invasion: A 1915 Cartoon that Reflects Putting the Cart Before the Horse

A 1915 Cartoon that Reflects Putting the Cart Before the Horse Probing the Photographic Record LONG ISLAND, NY Two periods might arguably be selected above all others to convey the message of the complete madness of World War I. The first is the invasion of the Gallipoli Peninsula in April 1915 by the British (and French) with the view of securing the Dardanelles straits, that narrow strip of land leading to Constantinople and the Black Sea, thus giving Russia troops access so as to put Turkey out of the War....

Beheading as Portrayed in Cartoons From The Ottoman Turkish Period

Probing the Photographic Record LONG ISLAND, NY In a recent posting (3 June 2021) we focused on the evolution of the use, perception, and interpretation of real photos of severed heads. We emphasized that this could occur over a relatively short period of time. These photographs generally start with one fairly clear intention and develop relatively quickly into a considerably more generic usage, reflecting less discriminate usage. See: Evolution of a gruesome photo of decapitation: from instilling terror to typifying Turkish savagery by Abraham D....

Taylor Long Island, NY In 2010 we published a lengthy essay entitled “Achieving Ever-Greater Precision in Attestation and Attribution of Genocide Photographs” (s*ee *A.D. Krikorian and E.L. Taylor, 2010). In it we stressed a number of important points – first and foremost the difficulty of determining accurately what a “genocide photograph” represents (attestation), and its attribution (that is identifying a photo with a place, time and even person....
