Bender, the Turkish Fortress in Bessarabia: A Glimpse into History". This print takes us back to the early 18th century, specifically around 1720, showcasing Bender, the Turkish fortress located in Bessarabia. With its rich historical significance and strategic position along the Dniester River, this stronghold witnessed numerous conflicts during the Great Northern War. The copper engraving by Gabriel Bodenehr captures the essence of this remarkable fortress with meticulous detail. The image portrays a snapshot of life within its walls during a time when tensions between Russia and Sweden were at their peak. It is believed that Tsar Peter I Alexeyevich himself played a significant role in capturing Bender from Swedish forces as part of his military campaign. The fine art print offers an intriguing glimpse into both cartography and graphic arts of that era. Its inclusion in private collections signifies its value not only as a historical artifact but also as an artistic masterpiece. As we admire this visual representation of Bender's grandeur, let us remember the countless battles fought on these very grounds. This photograph serves as a reminder of the resilience and determination displayed by Russian troops under Tsar Peter I's leadership against Charles XII of Sweden. With every glance at this stunning piece, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history—a testament to human perseverance amidst conflict and geopolitical struggles that shaped nations like Moldova, Ukraine, and Russia for centuries to come.
