The Khiva Expedition: Russian troops attacking a caravan of Turkomans, 1873. 'The pencil of Mr. N. Karasin, the same Russian artist who furnished us with an Illustration of the massacre of the liberated Persian slaves by a horde of Turkomans while on their road home after the capture of Khiva, supplies one of our Engravings in this week's paper. It represents an action in the more recent movements of the Russian army against the Tomood Turkomans, who had refused to pay their share of the indemnity stipulated for with the Khan of Khiva. The brigade of Cossacks, under the command of Colonel Block, on July 15, fell upon a Turkoman caravan, which consisted of the families of the warriors, with much cattle and baggage in waggons. The men who resisted were slain, the cattle was taken, but those in the vehicles were allowed to escape'. From "Illustrated London News", 1873.
