APPENDIX: IMAGES Image 1 Titled “The War in Crete—the Attack on the Monastery of Arcadi—[From an Original Sketch],” this drawing appeared in Harper’s Weekly. 107 Greek Cretan men and women barricade a door from Turkish Muslims, while two orthodox priests carry out the decision to blow the rebels’ store of powder. 29 Image 2 “Which is the infidel?” asks this political cartoon from Harpers Weekly. In the foreground John Bull bends to kiss the hand of the Ottoman Sultan. 108 Republicans saw British support for Ottoman territorial integrity as an important reminder of their distinctive role as a defender of liberties in a world of despots and diplomats. It reads: “God preserve thee, Sultan, long; Ever keep thee from all woes: May the State and thee be strong, To dismay and resist thy foes!” Song of Welcome to the Infidel Sultan Sultan (sotto voce to Grand Vizier). “These infidel John Bulls don’t see those little Massacres of their Christian brethren in Crete.” Grand Vizier. “Great is John Bull, and Abdul Aziz is his temporary profit.” 30 Image 3 Available in Charles Keating Tuckerman to Frederick William Seward, Jul. 1, 1867, William Henry Seward Papers (University of Rochester, Rush Rhees Library). 31
