EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print, titled 'The Coast North of Sebastopol, and New Earth Batteries, 1854,' is an intriguing historical record of the strategic Black Sea port during the Crimean War. The map was sketched on board H.M.S. 'Spitfire' for the Admiralty, providing a detailed view of the position of the Allied fleets during the bombardment on the batteries on October 17, 1854. The French and English fleets are depicted ranged across the entrance to the harbor, obstructing Russian access to the Black Sea and enforcing the blockade. The shaded areas indicate Russian defensive positions, including the Square Fort and guns. This map was published in the 'Illustrated London News,' a leading nineteenth-century newspaper, offering insight into the geographical features and fortifications of the disputed territory. The Siege of Sebastopol, also known as the Siege of Sevastopol, was a pivotal moment in the Crimean War, with the besieged city being a key objective for the Allied forces due to its strategic location and importance to Russian trade and transportation. This print offers a unique glimpse into the naval warfare and geopolitical tensions of the time, providing valuable context to the historical record.
