EDITORS COMMENTS
This panoramic view of the Sea of Azof transports us back to a significant moment in history. Taken from government charts and plans, as well as sketches by a military engineer, this print provides a unique glimpse into the Allied position during the Crimean War. Published in 1855 by Stannard and Dixon, it showcases the exceptional lithographic skills of Augustus Butler. The vastness of the sea stretches out before our eyes, its azure waters meeting the horizon with an air of tranquility. The strategically important locations of Kertch, Yenikale, Arabat Peninsula are marked on this map-like image, reminding us of their significance during this conflict. As we study this artwork closely, we can almost feel ourselves being transported to that era. We imagine soldiers standing guard along these shores, their presence felt but barely visible against nature's grandeur. The Black Sea looms beyond - mysterious and foreboding - serving as both a barrier and gateway for those involved in battle. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination during times of war. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and destruction, there is still beauty to be found in artistry and craftsmanship. Displayed proudly within a private collection today, this piece allows us to reflect upon history while appreciating its artistic merits. Let it serve as a reminder that art has the power not only to capture moments frozen in time but also to evoke emotions long after they have passed.
