EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Official Plan of the Battle of the Alma, Distribution of the British Troops at the Commencement of the Action" takes us back to a significant moment in history - the Crimean War. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print offers a detailed depiction of how British troops were positioned at the beginning of one of their most intense battles. The scene showcases a battery of twelve heavy guns lined up with precision on a rugged landscape. Eleven British troops are seen standing beside these powerful weapons, ready for action. The distribution and arrangement reflect careful planning and strategic positioning as they prepare to face their adversaries head-on. The Battle of Alma was fought on September 20,1854, between Russian forces and an alliance consisting primarily of French and British troops. This plan serves as an invaluable historical document that sheds light on how military tactics were employed during this confrontation. As we examine this engraving closely, we can't help but appreciate its intricate details and accurate representation. The meticulousness with which each soldier is depicted highlights not only their bravery but also pays homage to those who fought valiantly during this significant battle. Preserved within private collections today, this Official Plan stands as a testament to both artistic skill and historical importance. It allows us to delve into a crucial chapter in world history while honoring those who participated in shaping it through their courage and sacrifice.
