Map of the Crimea and plan of Sebastopol, 1854. Creator: John Dower
Map of the Crimea and plan of Sebastopol, 1854. Crimean War. In the expectation of great sacrifices and severe contests that must attend the attack upon Sebastopol, which is certain to make a most obstinate resistance, the commanders of the expedition have made every arrangement for the wounded, and orders have been sent to Constantinople to keep the hospitals in readiness for the reception of 10, 000 men...No good object could now be obtained by attacking Perekop, as [Russian] troops intended for the defence of the Crimea must already be in the peninsula, and some weeks must elapse before reinforcements from Kherson...can reach Sebastopol. No-one who saw the expedition start was inclined to doubt that it would be successful. New fieldworks have been constructed on the heights around Sebastopol, and the Russians in Odessa do not seem to feel any alarm for the fate of that fortress'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic map and plan of the Crimea and Sebastopol, created by John Dower in 1854, provides a detailed and intricate view of the strategic landscape during the height of the Crimean War. The map illustrates the Crimean Peninsula, with a particular focus on the city of Sebastopol, the primary objective of the British and French expeditionary forces. At the time, the attack on Sebastopol was anticipated to be a formidable challenge, with the city expected to mount a strong resistance. In preparation for the expected casualties, arrangements had been made for the care of wounded soldiers, with orders sent to Constantinople to prepare hospitals for the reception of 10,000 men. The map reveals the strategic positioning of the Russian forces, with new fortifications constructed on the heights around Sebastopol. The Russians in Odessa, however, did not appear overly concerned for the fate of their fortress, as they believed that troops intended for the defense of the Crimea had already been deployed, and reinforcements from Kherson would take several weeks to arrive. The expedition, which set out with great expectations of success, had constructed new fieldworks around Sebastopol, and the Russians in Odessa seemed complacent about the threat to their fortress. This map offers a fascinating glimpse into the military strategies and geopolitical tensions of the Crimean War, providing valuable context for understanding the complexities of this pivotal moment in history.
