EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the 19th century, specifically to the entrance of Balaclava Harbour in Ukraine. The image showcases a significant historical site - the very location where the Battle of Balaclava took place during the Crimean War from 1853 to 1856. The illustration, extracted from "The Life & Times of Queen Victoria". Vol II by Robert Wilson (c1888), beautifully captures the rugged beauty of this geographical feature. Towering cliffs and hills surround the harbor, creating a dramatic backdrop against which boats peacefully navigate through calm waters. The port itself exudes an air of tranquility as it opens up into the vast Black Sea. As we gaze upon this monochrome engraving, we can't help but be transported into a different era. It serves as a reminder of how crucial water transport was during times of war and conflict. This print allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and its historical significance. Credit for this remarkable piece goes to an unknown creator who skillfully captured this scene with meticulous detail. Thanks to their work, we are able to admire and reflect upon not only the natural beauty that surrounds Balaclava Harbour but also its role in shaping history during one of Europe's most notable conflicts –the Crimean War.
