EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the intensity and chaos of the Battle of Sebastopol during the Crimean War, as depicted in an engraving from the Illustrated London News in 1854. The scene shows British officers, led by General Sir De Lacy Evans, strategizing on the battlefield in the face of a large Russian army advance. The Russians, numbering around 6000 or 7000 men, had emerged from the fortified city of Sebastopol with infantry, cavalry, and artillery, intending to attack the Second Division under Sir De Lacy Evans' command. The British officers, clad in their military uniforms and mounted on horses, are seen in deep conversation, their faces etched with determination and focus. In the background, the smoke of gunpowder rises from the battlefield, while cannons and horses add to the sense of movement and activity. The scene is one of urgency, as the British forces prepare to repel the Russian attack. Sir De Lacy Evans, a veteran officer with a distinguished military career, is at the center of the image, surrounded by his staff. He is depicted as a calm and resolute leader, confidently directing his troops and coordinating their efforts. The French Division, commanded by General Bosquet, is also shown in the background, ready to offer support. This image is a testament to the bravery and determination of the British forces during the Crimean War, a conflict that saw intense fighting over disputed territories in the Crimea region of Ukraine. The Siege of Sebastopol, which lasted from September 1854 to September 1855, was a pivotal moment in the war, and this engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into the events that unfolded on the battlefield.
