EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed map depicting the Siege of Sevastopol during the Crimean War, which took place from 1854 to 1855. Created by artist Robert Walker in 1893, this historical artwork offers a glimpse into one of the most significant military campaigns of the 19th century. The siege commenced when Allied forces comprising troops from the United Kingdom, France, and Sardinia landed in Crimea and laid siege to Sevastopol. The city was home to Tsar's Black Sea fleet, posing a threat to Mediterranean security. Lasting for an entire year until September 1855, this intense conflict witnessed numerous battles and strategic maneuvers.
