EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "The Town and Harbour of Kertch" takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the bustling maritime life in Crimea. The illustration was originally featured in The Illustrated London News in 1855, showcasing the town's vibrant market place and its busy fleet of ships. The scene is filled with activity as various vessels navigate the waters surrounding Kertch. A steamer named Minna stands out among them, while boats and tugboats can be seen towing goods along the coastline. The Russian vessel adds an international touch to this coastal town's diverse maritime culture. The topography of Kertch is beautifully captured, with its charming town nestled against a backdrop of rolling hills. This print not only showcases the picturesque beauty of Ukraine's coast but also highlights the importance of transportation and trade for this thriving community. One intriguing detail worth noting is an infernal machine depicted within the image, hinting at some form of experiment or innovation taking place during that time period. Overall, this historical engraving offers viewers a fascinating window into Kertch's past—a snapshot frozen in time that allows us to appreciate both its natural beauty and bustling harbor activities.
