Framed Print of Mr. H. Suter, lately taken captive by brigands in Turkey, 1881. Creator: Unknown
Mr. H. Suter, lately taken captive by brigands in Turkey, 1881....extraordinary outrage perpetrated by Greek brigands, in the neighbourhood of Salonica...It was announced to Mr. Suter that he would be detained until the payment of a ransom amounting to £15, 000...Unless he would consent to these terms, and write a letter to Mr. Blunt, British Consul-General, asking for the ransom to be paid, his life and those of his wife and child would be presently sacrificed...the brigands...finally agreed to let Mr. Suter go for about one third of the ransom they originally demanded, with a full pardon for themselves and their accomplices. There were three captains or leaders of the band, named Aristidi, Giorgio Katzaro, and Nicola Dondonka, who seemed to be persons of a superior class, speaking Italian as well as Greek, and one of them speaking English; they are believed to have been Albanian or foreign Greeks...Mr. Suter was released, after two or three weeks very disagreeable captivity, with his two servants, and was permitted to embark in a small vessel sent to take him off the neighbouring seacoast, by which means he rejoined his wife and friends at Salonica. This adventurous personal history gives much interest to our Engraving of his portrait'. From Illustrated London News, 1881.
