EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity and bravery of the Second Charge of the Guards at Inkerman on November 5th, 1854. The plate is from "The Seat of War in the East" published by Colnaghi and Co. in 1856, showcasing a color lithograph by William Simpson. In this historic battle scene, we witness a soldier from the British Army dressed in his uniform, fearlessly engaging in combat. With his rifle aimed and ready to fire, he exemplifies the determination and courage exhibited by all those who fought during this significant moment in history. The atmosphere is charged with tension as smoke fills the air from gunfire and explosions. The wounded soldiers lying on the ground bear witness to the brutal reality of war. Yet amidst chaos and destruction, there is an undeniable sense of unity among these brave men fighting for their country's cause. The iconic bear skin hats worn by these guards stand out against a backdrop of turmoil, symbolizing their unwavering loyalty and strength. This image serves as a testament to their resilience as they launch a fierce attack against enemy forces. As we gaze upon this engraving from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded not only of the physical injuries suffered but also of humanity's enduring spirit even amidst adversity. It offers us an opportunity to reflect on both the sacrifices made by those who came before us and our collective responsibility to strive for peace and harmony today.
