EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white print depicts the French Baltic Fleet making its way through the Great Belt, a narrow strait connecting the North and Baltic Seas, in 1854. The image, taken from Cassells Illustrated Family Paper; London Weekly, captures the grandeur and power of the French naval fleet during the Crimean War. The fleet, consisting of various sailing ships and steam-powered vessels, is seen navigating the strait with precision and determination. The Danish coastline and harbor can be seen in the background, with Danish soldiers and civilians observing the passing fleet with a mix of curiosity and apprehension. The Great Belt was a strategically important waterway during the Crimean War, as it provided a vital transportation route for naval forces to travel between the North and Baltic Seas. The print offers a glimpse into the naval warfare of the nineteenth century, showcasing the intricate details of the ships, the skill of the sailors, and the geographical features of the region. Despite being unsigned, this print is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the naval capabilities of France during a pivotal moment in European history.
