EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print depicts an encampment of British troops during the Crimean War, specifically at Varna, Bulgaria, in 1854. The scene is meticulously captured in this engraving, taken by Lieutenant Edgar G. Bredin of the Royal Artillery, shortly before the troops' embarkation. The Horse Artillery is encamped upon the hills to the left, with the Guards occupying the valley in the center. To the right of the center stands Lord Lucan's camp, and further right are the 5th Dragoon Guards and the 1st Royal Dragoons. In the right-hand foreground, the road to Varna is visible. This illustration was published in the Illustrated London News, providing a glimpse into the military landscape of the Crimean War. The encampment showcases the vast array of tents and soldiers, with the hills and geographical features in the background adding to the expansive and picturesque setting. The Crimean War, which lasted from 1853 to 1856, was a significant conflict between Russia and several European powers, with Britain and France leading the alliance against Russia. This print offers a unique perspective into the military occupation of territories during this pivotal period in history.
