From sketches depicting the picturesque landscapes of Crimea to scenes capturing the intensity of war, each engraving tells a unique story. Immerse yourself in "General View of the Operations at Kertch, " where you witness the strategic maneuvers and battles that unfolded during this historic period.

Charting the Sea of Azoff and Straits of Kertch and Yenikale, another engraving unveils crucial geographical details that shaped military strategies. As tensions escalated during The Crimean War, this chart became an invaluable tool for understanding naval movements in the region.

Marvel at panoramic views revealing not only breathtaking vistas but also Allied positions along the Sea of Azof.

The old Fort stands tall in one engraving, overlooking Kerch Bay—a testament to its historical significance as a stronghold guarding against potential invasions from sea routes. Its formidable presence symbolizes resilience amid turbulent times. Two artists' interpretations—Edmund Walker's "Fortress Looking Towards the Sea of Azoff" and Georges McCulloch's "Fortress Looking Towards the Sea Of Azof"—capture different moments within this era.
