EDITORS COMMENTS
The engraving "Fort Kinburn, after the Bombardment" captures a haunting scene from the Crimean War. The image showcases the devastating effects of war on Fort Kinburn, located in Ukraine. The intricate details of the print bring to life the destruction caused by relentless bombing raids. The fortifications are shown in disarray, with walls and ramparts crumbling under the force of explosives. The south-west angle of Fort Kinburn is particularly highlighted, displaying the extent of damage inflicted upon this once formidable fortress. It serves as a somber reminder of the toll that warfare takes on both human lives and architectural marvels. This engraving was originally featured in The Illustrated London News on December 1st, 1854. Its inclusion in such a prominent publication during that time speaks to its significance as an eyewitness account of historical events. As we gaze upon this print today, we are transported back to a time when conflict ravaged these lands. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and compels us to reflect on the consequences of war. Bridgeman Images has preserved this piece for future generations to bear witness to its powerful message. Through their efforts, we can appreciate not only its artistic value but also gain insight into one chapter within humanity's complex narrative.
