EDITORS COMMENTS
This map print, titled "Plan of the Attack at 5.30pm," offers a glimpse into the Crimean War's pivotal moment at the besieged Black Sea port of Sebastopol in 1854. The image, published in the Illustrated London News, illustrates the strategic layout of the English, French, and Turkish naval forces and the Russian forts, Constantine and Alexander, guarding the harbor entrance. The forts are connected by a line of sunken Russian ships, meticulously marked, which obstructed the passage into the port, intensifying the blockade. The map reveals the intricate details of the geographical features surrounding the port, including the Telegraph Fort, Wasp Fort, and 'New Earth Works,' a defensive position. The naval forces, anchored in the Black Sea, are poised to engage with the forts, highlighting the tense atmosphere of the siege of Sebastopol. This evocative map print, produced during the 19th century, offers a unique perspective on the Crimean War, a significant disputed territory and a turning point in European history. The intricately detailed illustration, taken from the Illustrated London News, captures the essence of the naval warfare and the strategic importance of the Black Sea port of Sebastopol during the conflict between Britain, France, and Russia.
