EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithograph captures the grandeur of Prince Woronzoffs Palace near Yalta on the South Coast of Crimea. The print showcases British ships off the coast, with the magnificent palace of Prince Mikhail Vorontsov in the distance. It was published on June 15,1855, and depicts a significant moment during the Crimean War. In this particular scene, as dawn breaks over the sea, a fleet of British naval vessels returns from their first expedition to Kertch. Among them is the Royal Albert, carrying high-ranking Admirals and their staff. Eager to catch a glimpse of this architectural marvel nestled amidst picturesque mountains, they steer close to shore accompanied by a small gun boat. The artist behind this remarkable engraving is William Simpson, whose attention to detail brings every element of this landscape to life. From the majestic mountains that frame Prince Woronzoff's Palace to each ship in intricate detail – Simpson masterfully captures both natural beauty and man-made engineering. This lithograph not only serves as an artistic representation but also provides valuable historical insight into naval warfare during that era. It immortalizes Count Mikhail Semenovich Vorontsov's opulent residence while highlighting Britain's involvement in conflicts far from home. As we gaze upon this print today, it transports us back in time – reminding us of an era when warships sailed across vast oceans and palaces stood as symbols of power and prestige.
