EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print depicts the Official Plan of the Battle of the Alma during the Crimean War in 1854. The intricately detailed map, published in the Illustrated London News, illustrates the strategic deployment of British forces at the onset of the action. The distribution of troops is clearly marked, with designations such as 'A. Battery of twelve heavy guns (24 lbs)', 'B. Four heavy guns', and 'C. Battery of eleven heavy guns (32 lbs)'. The map also highlights various geographical features, including the River Alma, ravines, vineyards, villages, and a Martello Tower. The positions of both British and French troops are shown, providing a unique perspective into the battlefield tactics of the time. The bridge crossing the river is also visible, adding to the sense of movement and activity. The Battle of the Alma was a pivotal moment in the Crimean War, with the British and French forces successfully repelling the Russian army, marking a turning point in the conflict. This print offers a fascinating glimpse into the military strategies and geographical considerations that shaped the course of the battle. The print's historical significance is further emphasized by its publication in the Illustrated London News, a prominent 19th-century newspaper known for its high-quality illustrations and coverage of current events. This print is a valuable addition to any collection focused on military history, geography, or the Crimean War.
