EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the interior of the Fort of Chanak-Kalessi, situated on the Asiatic side of the Dardanelles in 1854. The image, sketched by Lieutenant M. O'Reilly, showcases the impressive armaments and soldiers of the Ottoman Empire, with a focus on the cannons that were crucial during the Crimean War. The Fort of Chanak-Kalessi was a significant Ottoman fortification, housing an impressive arsenal of 102 guns. The cannon in the foreground, with a diameter of thirty-six inches and a length of thirty feet, is particularly noteworthy as it is the very gun that struck the British warship HMS Windsor Castle, 76, during Sir John Duckworth's attempt to pass up the Dardanelles in 1854. The cannonballs and ammunition, carefully arranged and ready for use, emphasize the military readiness of the Ottoman forces. The soldiers, standing tall and alert, add to the sense of power and strength that emanates from the fort. This print, originally published in the Illustrated London News, offers a unique glimpse into the military landscape of the 19th century and the strategic importance of the Dardanelles during the Crimean War. The intricate details and the large-scale representation of the fort and its cannons make this a captivating and historically significant image.
