EDITORS COMMENTS
This map print, titled "New Russian Works, 1854," depicts the strategically important Black Sea port of Sebastopol during the Crimean War. The image, published in the Illustrated London News in 1854, offers a detailed view of the besieged city and its defensive positions. The harbor entrance is blocked by a line of sunken Russian ships, with English, French, and Turkish naval vessels ranged across the water on either side. The Russian forts Constantine and Alexander stand defiantly, guarding the entrance to the dockyard and the telegraph and Wasp forts. The "New Earth Works," a defensive position, are also marked. The intricate detail of this map reveals the complex geography of the area, with the various forts and fortifications clearly visible. The siege of Sebastopol, which lasted from September 1854 to September 1855, was a pivotal moment in the Crimean War, and this print offers a fascinating glimpse into the military strategies and tactics employed during this disputed territorial conflict. The print, with its rich historical significance, is a valuable addition to any collection focusing on the 19th century, naval warfare, or the history of Russia and Ukraine.
