Fortifications of Bomarsund, 1854. Creator: Unknown
Fortifications of Bomarsund, 1854. Crimean War. Map of Russian forts on the Baltic Sea coast in Findland. Also shown are positions of the English and French armies, and the Royal Navy ships Herefordshire, Penelope, Hecla, and Bulldog. The British and French attacked Bomarsund and demolished the fortress. The fortifications of Bomarsund lie on the eastern point of the largest of the Aland Islands. The principal fortress stands at the head of a semicircular bay armed with about eighty cannon in two tiers. At the back, or northern, side of the fort the land rises considerably, and the defence on that part consisted of three round towers - one on the highest ground to the west, a second in the centre, and a third to the east. A fourth work had been erected on the Island of Prasto, east of the fortress, and a mud battery was thrown up on the beach to the west'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the Fortifications of Bomarsund, a historic site located on the eastern tip of the largest Aland Island in the Baltic Sea. The principal fortress, armed with approximately eighty cannon in two tiers, is shown at the head of a semicircular bay. The land rises significantly behind the fort, with three round towers protecting the northern side - one on the highest ground to the west, a second in the centre, and a third to the east. A fourth work had been built on the Island of Prasto, east of the fortress, and a mud battery was constructed on the beach to the west. The year is 1854, and this scene is a testament to the events of the Crimean War. The British and French forces, determined to seize control of the disputed territory, launched an attack on Bomarsund. The print, published in the Illustrated London News, provides a detailed account of the fortifications and the positions of the English and French armies, as well as the Royal Navy ships Herefordshire, Penelope, Hecla, and Bulldog. The Fortifications of Bomarsund, a significant geographical feature in the Arctic, had long been a point of contention between Russia and other European powers. The print offers a glimpse into the strategic importance of this location during a time of war, and the meticulous planning and execution required to mount a successful attack. The image, reminiscent of an engraving, transports us back to the 19th century, providing a fascinating glimpse into the past.
