Summary

Description

Refugee Morlacchi in the Ancient Lazaretto of the Ragusa Fortress. A group of seven refugees, captioned Morlacchi, at the ancient lazaretto of the Ragusa fortress, in the newspaper’s coverage of the war in the Herzegovina. The faces, clothing, hands, bare feet, postures, seat, straw and background hatching match the scrapbook engraving. The complete picture, printed frame including its original breaks, small printed marks and caption The War in the Herzegovina: Refugee Morlacchi in the Ancient Lazaretto of the Ragusa Fortress. are retained. No individual artist, engraver or sitter identity is established. The separate portrait of Sir Gardner Wilkinson and adjoining articles on the full newspaper page are outside the crop and are not attributed to this image.

From The Illustrated London News, vol. LXVII (67), no. 1893, Saturday, 20 November 1875, printed p. 500. The physical opening-page masthead prints the issue number, volume and date. The other complete source-page headers likewise print the date and folio. The opening page’s folio 497 is identified by the volume sequence and library canvas label; a visible printed 497 is not claimed on the masthead. The first publication in all editions and the physical copy used for the scrapbook cutting are not established.

Compared directly with H. P. Blavatsky’s Scrapbooks, volume 5, page 19, item 1. Original album images, captions, notes, handwriting, metadata, transcription and previous materials remain unchanged.

crop (125, 205)–(3060, 2310) in the upright image. No fine resampling: the measured frame-rule slope is already within tolerance (+0.093970 degrees). The orientation reference is the robust bottom of the long printed picture-frame rule; the scan’s slight local paper curvature is retained. Final trim (20, 20)–(2915, 2085); right and bottom bounds are exclusive. No added canvas is retained. Complete printed picture, frame, caption or decorative border and meaningful marks remain. Original paper colour, show-through, stains, minor colour moiré and scan artefacts remain. No enlargement, tonal or colour correction, sharpening, retouching, watermark removal or reconstruction was applied. PNG compression is lossless; the input JPEG is preserved unchanged.
