EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph print from 1855 captures the intricate details of the Black Sea, specifically focusing on the South-West Coast of Crimea from Cape Aia to Alma Bay. Created by the officers of H.M.S.V. Spitfire, this chart is a testament to their meticulous work and dedication to accurately mapping out this region.
The scale of approximately 1:42,500 in nautical miles allows for a comprehensive view of soundings, seabed contours, variation, and general current direction. Additionally, it showcases Crimea itself along with French lines and fortifications present at that time.
What makes this piece truly special are the two long views included - one colored and one uncolored - providing different perspectives on the landscape. The attention to detail in this lithograph is evident in every stroke and line drawn by Malby & Sons.
As you gaze upon this historical artifact now housed at the National Maritime Museum in London, you can't help but appreciate the artistry and precision that went into creating such a detailed map of a significant maritime location. It serves as both a valuable navigational tool for sailors of the past and a beautiful piece of artwork for admirers today.
