EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking litography print depicts the bombardment of Odessa during the Crimean War on April 10, 1854. Thirty-two French and British ships are seen off the coast of Odessa, the major seaport in southern Ukraine, as they open fire on the city. The attack was a part of the larger naval operation aimed at securing the Black Sea for the Allied forces and weakening the Russian naval presence. The print, which is part of the extensive collection of the Biblioteca de Catalunya (National Library of Catalonia) in Barcelona, Spain, captures the intensity and chaos of the bombardment in vivid detail. The ships are shown releasing plumes of smoke from their cannons, while the sky above is filled with the ominous clouds of gunpowder smoke. The city of Odessa, with its distinctive domes and towers, can be seen in the background, engulfed in flames and smoke. The print is a testament to the destructive power of war and the devastating impact it can have on civilian populations. The use of color and outdoor daylight in the print adds to its authenticity and makes it a valuable historical document. The Crimean War, which lasted from 1853 to 1856, was a significant turning point in European history and marked the beginning of the decline of the Russian Empire.
