EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant episode from the Crimean War, specifically the Battle of Suomenlinna (also known as the Battle of Viapori or the Bombardment of Sweaborg). Taking place on 7-8 August 1855, this fierce battle unfolded between Russian defenders and a joint British/French fleet. The image showcases the mighty naval power deployed during this conflict. A fleet of imposing warships dominates the Baltic Sea as they unleash their devastating firepower upon Sveaborg, a formidable sea fortress near Helsinki, Finland. The intensity and chaos of warfare are palpable in this historic moment frozen in time. Published in "The Illustrated London News Record of the Glorious Reign of Queen Victoria 1837-1901: The Life and Accession of King Edward VII. and the Life of Queen Alexandra" in 1901, this photograph serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic craftsmanship.
