The Floating batteries at the Siege of Kinburn 1855-1856, captured in this anonymous lithograph from a private collection, offers a captivating glimpse into the intense warfare and strategic defense during the Crimean War. This fine art print transports us back to that historic moment when allied troops from France and the United Kingdom joined forces with the Ottoman Empire to confront Russian forces. The image showcases an impressive British fleet alongside French ships, forming a formidable squadron off the coast of Kinburn Foreland. The floating batteries, ingeniously designed vessels armed with heavy artillery, stand as symbols of both innovation and resilience in this battle for control over Kinburn Spit. As we delve deeper into this graphic depiction, we witness the bombardment unleashed upon enemy positions by these floating batteries.
