The North Side of the Harbour at Sebastopol, 22 June 1855
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph by Jonathan Needham that offers a glimpse into the intense atmosphere of the Crimean War. The image showcases three soldiers positioned defensively atop a cliff, their firearms ready for action. This strategic location overlooks the crucial northern side of Sebastopol's harbor, which served as a vital supply route for Russian forces during the war. Sebastopol, located in present-day Ukraine, was fiercely defended by Russian troops until August 1855 when it finally succumbed to allied forces. Needham's artwork transports us back to that fateful day in June, capturing both the vastness of the landscape and the tension in the air. The lithograph beautifully depicts not only military elements but also highlights geographical features such as cliffs and panoramic views. The artist skillfully uses color and reflection to enhance our visual experience, immersing us in this historical moment. This print from Guildhall Library and Art Gallery serves as an important reminder of William Simpson's documentation of war through art during this period. It allows us to appreciate both his talent as an artist and his dedication to preserving history.
