EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "The Aland Islands on July 22,1854,1855" showcases the artistic brilliance of Oswald Walters Brierly. Created during a time of intense conflict and tension, this print captures a significant moment in history - the Battle of Bomarsund during the Crimean War. Brierly's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush. The scene depicts the British and French fleets bombarding the Aland Islands as part of their joint efforts against Russia. The artist skillfully portrays the chaos and intensity of battle while maintaining a sense of classical beauty. The composition draws us into the heart of action, with smoke billowing from cannons and ships engaged in combat. Allied troops can be seen storming ashore amidst explosions and gunfire. Brierly's use of watercolors adds depth and texture to this dramatic portrayal. This rare piece comes from a private collection, making it even more valuable for art enthusiasts and historians alike. It serves as both an exquisite example of graphic arts from that era and an important historical document capturing one aspect of the Crimean War. "The Aland Islands on July 22,1854,1855" stands as a testament to Brierly's talent as well as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those involved in this pivotal moment in international conflict.
