The artwork showcases a remarkable display of military might in the form of cannons and mortars exhibited at London's iconic Crystal Palace. The image captures the attention with its intricate details and historical significance. These powerful weapons were originally used during the Battle of Bomarsund in 1854, a conflict that took place on Åland Islands between British and French forces against Russian troops. As symbols of victory, these guns and mortars were brought to England for public exhibition. Displayed within the grandeur of Crystal Palace, an architectural marvel renowned for hosting various exhibitions throughout history, this print offers a glimpse into an era when technological advancements fascinated society.
