EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Distant View of Lord Raglans Head Quarters before Sebastopol" takes us back in time to the Crimean War. The image, a coloured tinted lithograph by T Pickin in 1855, showcases the topography and organization of the British army during this historic conflict. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported to Lord Raglan's headquarters situated before Sebastopol. The camp is bustling with activity as soldiers go about their duties amidst rows of tents and artillery. It offers a glimpse into the daily life and accommodation of those involved in this arduous campaign. The artist behind this masterpiece, William Simpson, was commissioned by Paul and Dominic Colnaghi to document the war through his sketches made on-site. Simpson traveled alongside British troops from November 1854 until September 1855 when Sebastopol fell. This particular lithograph is part of a larger series called "The Seat of War in the East" which consisted of forty lithographs published by Paul and Dominic Colnaghi & Company on January 18th, 1855. These prints provided an invaluable visual record for future generations to understand the events that unfolded during one of history's most significant conflicts. Preserved at London's National Army Museum, this print serves as a reminder not only of Lord Raglan's headquarters but also pays homage to all those who fought bravely during the Crimean War. Its historical significance makes it an essential piece for any art enthusiast or
