EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving showcases Wyld's Great Globe, a remarkable building erected in Leicester Square, London, during the early 1850s. The structure housed an impressive 10,000 square foot painting of the Earth, making it a significant attraction for the public. During the turbulent times of the Crimean War, the positions of the fighting forces of Britain, France, Turkey, and Russia were meticulously posted onto the painting as the latest news arrived in London. The Crimean War, which lasted from October 1853 to February 1856, was a major European conflict between Russia and an alliance of the Ottoman Empire, France, and the United Kingdom. The painting served as an essential source of information for the British public, providing them with the latest updates on the war's progress. The engraving captures the building's grandeur and the historical significance of the information it conveyed. The Great Globe was a testament to the importance of knowledge and communication during a time when information was scarce and valuable. The 7,000 square iln (imperial linear inch) engraving is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on how information was disseminated during a pivotal moment in history.
