The Crimean War, 1855 - A Humorous Retreat
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a comical scene from the Crimean War in 1855. In this colour lithograph by the English School of the 19th century, we witness a moment filled with charging cavalrymen and an unexpected twist of humor. As history tells us, during the Crimean War, it is often said that a thin red line appeared and caused the enemy to flee. However, in this illustration for "Really and Truly" by Mrs Ernest Ames (Mary Frances Ames), we see a different side to this famous event. The British soldiers on horseback are shown retreating in haste while displaying amusing expressions on their faces. The artist's intention seems to be entertaining children as they bring light-heartedness to such a historical event. Amidst galloping horses and fleeing troops, there is an element of whimsy that adds charm to this depiction of war. With its vibrant colors and playful tone, this print offers viewers an engaging glimpse into Victorian-era storytelling through art. It reminds us that even amidst conflict and battlefields, moments of levity can emerge. This Fine Art Finder print from Bridgeman Images invites us to appreciate not only the bravery but also the lighter side of those who fought during one of history's significant conflicts – The Crimean War.
