EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, titled 'Embarkation of French and English Troops, in Varna Bay, 1854,' is an intriguing glimpse into the Crimean War, showcasing the encampments of British and French forces on the shores of Varna Bay in Bulgaria. Taken by Lieutenant Edgar G. Bredin of the Royal Artillery, this sketch was published in the 'Illustrated London News' shortly before the troops embarked on their journey. The image reveals the British Army camp nestled on the left side of the lake, with the English flag proudly displayed. Across the bay, the French cavalry are stationed, their horses tethered and ready for departure. The quaint town of Varna lies on the right, and in the bay, French transports await to carry the troops away from the Black Sea coast. Captain Woodhouse's battery for transport is also visible, with its cannons poised and ready for action. The hills in the background add a sense of grandeur to the scene, while the naval ships in the distance provide a reminder of the strategic importance of the waterways during this time of conflict. This photograph offers a unique perspective into the military occupation of territories during the Crimean War, with the encampments, tents, and transport ships all coming together to create a vivid and evocative image of the era. The unknown artist's skillful use of black and white tones adds depth and texture to the scene, making it a valuable addition to any historical collection.
