EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the French attack on the Malakoff during the 19th century. The Battle of Malakoff, fought on September 7,1855, was a crucial part of the Siege of Sevastopol in the Crimean War. This illustration is extracted from "The Life & Times of Queen Victoria, Vol II" by Robert Wilson. In this intense scene depicted by an unknown creator and captured by Robert Wilson's engraving skills, we witness brave French soldiers engaging in combat against formidable odds. A group of determined men can be seen crossing a bridge towards the towering Malakoff tower while carrying ladders to breach its defenses. Among them stands an officer leading his troops with unwavering resolve. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and intensity to this historical moment frozen in time. It transports us back to a turbulent era when nations clashed for power and dominance. The print collector has preserved this remarkable piece as a testament to human courage and sacrifice. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the countless lives that were forever altered during those tumultuous times. It serves as a poignant reminder that history is not merely confined within textbooks but lives on through visual representations like these prints.
