EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print depicts Lieutenant-General Pavel Liprandi, a Russian officer who gained renown in Western Europe for his command during the Crimean War. Born in Russia, Liprandi's reputation was not established through his earlier career but rather from his actions in the Crimea. His energy and daring were soon evident, as he masterminded and executed the attack on Balaclava in 1854. Had this assault on the British and French forces been successful, the consequences for the Allies would have been dire. Liprandi is shown here in his military uniform, adorned with medals and wearing a casque, or helmet, with a spiked crest. His clothing is typical of the 19th century military fashion, with a high-collared jacket, trousers, and a sash. The print, which originated from "Illustrated London News" in 1856, provides a glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the appearance of a man who played a pivotal role in the Siege of Sevastopol and the Battle of Balaclava. Liprandi's image serves as a reminder of the intense and strategic battles that took place during the Crimean War, a conflict that significantly impacted European history.
