EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing "The Lighthouse at Cape Chersonese" from the renowned collection, "The Seat of War in the East". Published by Colnaghi and Co. in 1856, this lithograph by William Simpson takes us back to the tumultuous era of the Crimean War.

Its beacon pierces through the misty air, guiding sailors safely along treacherous waters. However, our attention is drawn to a grounded ship nearby—a stark reminder of the perils faced by seafarers during wartime.
