EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Balaklava Harbour, looking north" 2. Description: This evocative photograph, taken by Scottish photographer James Robertson in 1856, captures the tranquil yet strategic scene of Balaklava Harbour in the Crimean region of Ukraine. During the Crimean War (1854-1856), Balaklava became a vital British naval base due to its sheltered location, providing a safe haven for Allied forces during the conflict with Russia. 3. Context: The Crimean War was a significant European conflict that arose from political tensions between Russia and the Western European powers, primarily Britain and France. The war saw several major battles, including the infamous Charge of the Light Brigade, and lasted from October 1853 to February 1856. 4. Composition: In this photograph, the eye is drawn to the majestic ships anchored in the harbour, their sails furled and masts standing tall against the backdrop of the rugged Crimean coastline. The topography of the area is evident, with steep cliffs and rocky outcrops jutting out into the water. The calm waters reflect the clear blue sky, creating a serene and picturesque scene. 5. Technique: James Robertson, a renowned Scottish photographer, captured this image using the wet collodion process, a photographic technique that involved coating a glass plate with a light-sensitive emulsion and exposing it to light before developing the image. This process allowed for high-quality, detailed images, making Robertson's work an invaluable historical record of the Crimean War. 6. Significance: Balaklava Harbour, looking north, is a striking representation of the strategic importance of the Crimean region during the Crimean War. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, providing insight into the topography, naval activity, and historical significance of this vital harbour. Today, it remains an essential part of the Crimean War's rich and complex history.
