![The image is a vintage poster featuring a political map with bold colors and text that reads "Do You Understand the Eastern Question?" in large letters at the top. The central part of the poster displays an illustrated map, colored to represent different countries or regions: Austria-Hungary (in red), Russia (in orange), Bosnia and Serbia (in blue), Bulgaria (in purple), Romania (in pink), Turkey (in green), Italy (partially visible on the left side in beige with "ITALY" labeled), Asia Minor (in light brown at the bottom right corner). The map is detailed, showing country names such as Bosna Sejra and Belgrade. A text block below reads: 'HENRY NORMAN STATES IT PRACTICALLY IN SCRIBNER'S JUNE.' Additional information about this image can be found in Do you understand the Eastern Question? Henry Norman states it practically in Scribner's for June [between 1890 and 1900]. The poster appears to have some wear, indicating age.](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/115/883/469/040/415/753/small/e21fa21596fc64a4.jpeg)
