1855 Crimean War Fort Russian Surrender Kinburn Troop
EDITORS COMMENTS
This steel engraving from the 19th century depicts a significant moment in history - the surrender of the governor of Russian forts in Kinburn to Allied forces during the Crimean War. The scene is filled with tension and drama as soldiers stand guard, their weapons at the ready, while the governor stands before them, his expression one of resignation. The artist has skillfully captured the destruction caused by the bombardment of Kinburn, with crumbling walls and smoke rising from damaged structures. The fort itself looms large in the background, a symbol of Russian strength now rendered powerless against superior forces. The image serves as a reminder of both the brutality and futility of war. It showcases not only military might but also human vulnerability. Amidst all this chaos and violence, there is an air of solemnity surrounding this historic event. As viewers gaze upon this print, they are transported back to that fateful day on October 17th, 1855 when victory was achieved through forceful means. It prompts contemplation about how conflicts shape our world and reminds us that even in times when peace seems unattainable, there is always hope for resolution. This artwork from Granger Art on Demand provides us with a window into history - allowing us to reflect upon past struggles while appreciating our present state of relative tranquility.
