EDITORS COMMENTS
"This engraving depicts The Cemetery on Balaklava Heights, a poignant reminder of the human cost of the Crimean War. Located in the Crimean peninsula, this cemetery is where a number of notable British officers were laid to rest during the conflict, which took place from 1853 to 1856. The most prominent tomb in the cemetery belongs to Admiral Edward Boxer, who played a crucial role in reorganising the port at Balaklava. His efforts, particularly in facilitating the embarkation of supplies, were recognised by Lord Raglan, the British commander-in-chief.
