EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled "The Siege of Sebastopol - General Canrobert and Escort, 1854," showcases the commander-in-chief of the French troops, General Canrobert, and his escort of Chasseurs d'Afrique during the Crimean War. The image captures the moment as they gallop in the direction of the besieged town, with a sense of urgency and determination etched on their faces. The scene was captured by an unknown artist, who described the encounter in the "Illustrated London News" of 1854: "Our Artist happened to meet General Canrobert and his escort of Chasseurs d'Afrique, and he has forwarded a Sketch of the party, who appear to be galloping in the direction of the besieged town, in order to discover what the enemy is about." At the time, General Canrobert addressed his army with inspiring words, emphasizing the historical significance of their mission: "Penetrated as I am with the grandeur of the historical mission which we accomplish on this distant land, you will each of you bring to it, each within your sphere, and with the most absolute devotedness, that active part which is indispensable to enable me to bring it to a successful termination." The Crimean War was a pivotal moment in European history, with the threatening bulwark of the vast Russian empire seemingly daring Europe. The few days of suffering and trials that lay ahead for the soldiers would ultimately result in a significant victory for the Allied forces, marking the fall of Sebastopol and a turning point in the conflict. This powerful photograph print serves as a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of the soldiers who played a crucial role in shaping the course of history.
