EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Victoria Cross, a prestigious military decoration instituted in 1856 for both the British army and navy. Queen Victoria herself bestowed this honor upon 62 men in June 1857, marking its first conferral. Crafted from Russian cannon captured during the Crimean War's Sevastopol campaign, the Victoria Cross takes the form of a striking Maltese cross. When awarded to army personnel, it is adorned with a vibrant red ribbon; whereas naval servicemen receive it with an elegant blue ribbon. The accompanying illustrations within this print depict some of the earliest recipients of this esteemed award. Each image tells a story of bravery and heroism displayed on battlefields such as Balaclava and Inkerman during the Crimean War (1853-1856).
