EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "French Attack near the Mamelon Vert, 1855" captures a pivotal moment during the Crimean War. Taken by James Robertson in 1855, this historical image showcases the Russian defenses near the Mamelon Vert in Sevastopol. The photograph depicts French forces successfully capturing these fortifications from their Russian counterparts. Intriguingly, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the brutal reality of warfare during the Victorian era. The landscape is strewn with remnants of battle, showcasing a scene that was once filled with chaos and violence. Soldiers can be seen standing atop ramparts and fortified positions, their presence a testament to their bravery and determination. This photograph not only serves as an important historical document but also highlights the advancements made in photography during this time period. As one examines each detail captured by Robertson's lens, it becomes evident that reportage photography played a significant role in documenting war efforts. Now part of a private collection, this image transports viewers back to June 1855 when French forces triumphed over Russian defenses at Gordons Hill near Sevastopol. It stands as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers on both sides while shedding light on an important chapter in military history - one that forever shaped Crimea's legacy as a site of conflict and resilience.
