EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense and dramatic scene of "The Bombardment of Sveaborg, burning of the 60 Gun-Boat Sheds". Sketched from an opposite rock by John Wilson Carmichael, this engraving showcases the chaos and destruction that unfolded during the Crimean War. In this illustration for The Illustrated London News, dated September 15th, 1855, Carmichael skillfully depicts a moment in history that is both awe-inspiring and harrowing. The viewer is transported to Finland's Baltic Sea where Sveaborg (now known as Suomenlinna) becomes engulfed in flames. The gun-boat sheds burn fiercely against a backdrop of billowing smoke and crumbling structures. Amidst this chaotic scene, various boats can be seen navigating through the turbulent waters. A tugboat valiantly attempts to transport passengers away from danger while other vessels serve as means of transportation for soldiers or supplies. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the devastating impact war has on not only buildings but also on people's lives. Carmichael's attention to detail brings forth a sense of realism that allows viewers to immerse themselves in this historical event. As we gaze upon this engraving from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of the destructive power unleashed during wartime and its lasting effects on humanity.
