EDITORS COMMENTS

Taken from "The Illustrated London News Record of the Glorious Reign of Queen Victoria" this image immortalizes the disastrous British cavalry charge that occurred on October 25,1854. In this dramatic scene, we witness brave British soldiers mounted on horseback charging fearlessly towards Russian cannon fire. With their sabers raised high and determination etched on their faces, these men embody unwavering courage in the face of imminent danger. It was Alfred Lord Tennyson's renowned poem that forever etched this event into our collective memory.
