EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Town Batteries or Interior Fortifications of Sebastopol" takes us back to the Crimean War in 1855. The artwork, created by William Simpson, showcases the intense military operations and strategic fortifications during this historic conflict. In the foreground of the image, we witness brave soldiers manning a Rifle Pit as part of the British Left attack, famously known as Chapman's Attack. Their determined expressions reveal their commitment to defending their position against enemy forces. As our gaze moves towards the right side of the picture, we observe the Vorontsov road descending towards Sevastopol's Dockyard Creek. Alongside it stands an imposing Russian Strand Battery that safeguards the water's edge with its formidable defenses. On higher ground to our right lies another crucial stronghold called Barrack Battery. Its elevated location grants it a vantage point from which it can effectively counter any assault originating from that direction. Simpson masterfully captures both the intricate details of these fortifications and the dynamic atmosphere surrounding them. This particular artwork was reproduced as Plate 6 in Simpson's renowned publication "A Seat of War in East". Second Series (1856), showcasing his exceptional talent for documenting historical events through art. With this print now available for viewing at London's National Army Museum, viewers have an opportunity to immerse themselves in a significant moment from history and appreciate Simpson's artistic prowess firsthand.
