EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Heights of the Alma, Crimea, Ukraine, c1888" takes us back to a significant moment in history. The image showcases the breathtaking landscape of the Heights of the Alma, situated in Crimea, Ukraine during the late 19th century. The photograph captures an engraving from Robert Wilson's book "The Life & Times of Queen Victoria" published around 1888. It depicts one of the earliest battles fought during the Crimean War (1853-1856), known as The Battle of Alma. This conflict holds great historical importance as it marked a turning point in this war. In this scene, we see a riverboat gracefully sailing along River Alma against a backdrop of majestic hills and valleys. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and intensity to this powerful illustration. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but imagine ourselves transported back in time to witness these dramatic events unfold. The unknown creator has skillfully captured not only a geographical feature but also evokes emotions associated with war and transportation. This print serves as a reminder of how landscapes can bear witness to historic moments that shape nations and leave lasting legacies. As we admire this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' collection curated by Robert Wilson himself, let us reflect on our shared human history and appreciate those who have gone before us - their triumphs, sacrifices, and contributions that have shaped our world today.
