EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity of the Battle of the Tchernaya, which took place on August 16th, 1855. The plate is from "The Seat of War in the East" a publication by Paul & Dominic Colnaghi & Co. in 1856. In this lithograph by William Simpson, we witness a pivotal moment during the Crimean War as Russian forces face defeat against their adversaries. The scene depicts a fierce confrontation between infantry units amidst dense smoke and chaos. Soldiers charge forward with determination, engaged in close combat as they fight for victory. The artist skillfully portrays the clash between opposing forces, highlighting both bravery and desperation within each soldier's eyes. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder of the harsh realities faced by those involved in warfare during this tumultuous period. As part of The Stapleton Collection, this historic artwork offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in military history. It reminds us of the sacrifices made and challenges faced by soldiers on both sides during times of conflict. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder without any commercial use intended.
