EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Icebreaking in the Dnieper Liman for the passage of Floating batteries, 1855-1856,1860" by Antoine Leon Morel-Fatio takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image depicts a scene from the Crimean War, showcasing the joint efforts of France and Britain to break through the icy waters of the Dnieper Liman. In this realistic portrayal, we witness an intense bombardment as allied troops and Russian forces clash on Kinburn Spit. The British fleet and French fleet join forces with floating batteries to overcome obstacles posed by nature and enemy resistance. This battle at Kinburn Foreland was crucial in weakening the Ottoman Empire's defenses during this war. Morel-Fatio's fine artistry is evident in this color lithograph that captures both the grandeur and brutality of warfare. The artist skillfully portrays not only military might but also highlights how icebreaking played a pivotal role in strategic planning during this conflict. Preserved within a private collection, this historical gem serves as a reminder of past alliances forged between nations amidst times of turmoil. It symbolizes unity among France, Britain, and their allies against common adversaries. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, it transports us back to an era where bravery met harsh conditions head-on. It stands as a testament to human resilience and determination when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges.
