EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Sebastopol, Attack on the Malakhoff, 18 June" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Gustave Dore in the mid-19th century, this print captures the intensity and chaos of the Crimean War. The scene depicted is none other than the infamous Battle of Sebastopol that took place on June 18th. From an aerial perspective, we witness a fierce attack unfolding upon the Malakhoff fortress. The artist's attention to detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this pivotal moment. Dore's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth and drama to this historical event. The smoke billowing from cannons fills the sky while soldiers engage in hand-to-hand combat below. Their determination is palpable as they fight for victory amidst crumbling walls and fallen comrades. Published originally in The Illustrated Times on September 22nd, 1855, this engraving served as a visual representation of news during that time period. It provided readers with an opportunity to witness firsthand accounts through artistry. Today, this print serves as a reminder of human resilience and sacrifice during times of conflict. It invites us to reflect upon our shared history while honoring those who fought bravely for their beliefs. This piece from Bridgeman Images offers not only aesthetic beauty but also deep insight into one of humanity's most challenging chapters - reminding us never to forget our past struggles nor take peace for granted.
