EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print from the Liszt Collection showcases the "Ditch of the Bastion du Mat" during a significant moment in history. Created by renowned artist William Simpson and lithographed by E. Walker, this artwork provides a unique glimpse into the realities of warfare. The image depicts an intricate network of earthworks, strategically designed to defend against enemy forces. The spiked timbers and gabions serve as formidable barriers, while openings reveal entrances to underground bomb shelters. These structures were crucial for soldiers seeking refuge during intense battles. Situated at the far left of the British lines and facing both the Russian Grand Redan and Sevastopol, the Bastion du Mat was a French redoubt that played a pivotal role in military operations. Its position highlights its significance in protecting allied forces during conflicts. The tinted hues add depth to this historical scene, evoking emotions associated with war's harsh realities. Published by Paul & Dominic Colnaghi & Co. , this lithograph preserves an important moment in time. As viewers gaze upon this print, they are transported back to 1856 when it was first published in Pall Mall, London. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical documentation, allowing us to appreciate not only Simpson's talent but also gain insight into past events that shaped our world today.
