Description

The Attack on the Malakoff by w:William Simpson. Print shows the French assault on the Malakoff, the main Russian fortification before Sevastopolʹ, on 7 September 1855. French soldiers advance from the left, Zouaves from the left foreground, crossing the ditch and engaging Russian soldiers in hand-to-hand combat on the right. This was published on 22 October 1855, less than two months after the battle, which is about as contemporary to the event as mass-reproduced colour images got at the time.
Français L'attaque de Malakoff par w:William Simpson. La gravure montre l'assaut sur Malakoff, la plus importante fortification russe devant Sébastopol, le 7 septembre 1855, au cours de la guerre de Crimée. Soldats français et Zouaves s'avancent, traversent le fossé, et engagent les soldats russes dans un combat au corps à corps. Ce document fut publié le 22 octobre 1855, moins de deux mois après l'événement, ce qui peut être considéré à l'époque comme contemporain pour ce type de reproduction de masse en couleurs.
