1. Title: The Battle of the Alma (20 September 1854), Crimean War (1853-1856) This engraving depicts a pivotal moment during the Crimean War (1853-1856), specifically the Battle of the Alma fought on 20 September 1854. The Crimean War was a significant European conflict between the Russian Empire and an alliance of the Ottoman Empire, France, the United Kingdom, and Sardinia. The Battle of the Alma was the first major engagement of the war, as the allied forces attempted to advance on the strategic city of Sevastopol in the Crimean peninsula. In this scene, we see the armed forces of the allied nations wrestling with the Russian militarism and militarist mentality. The soldiers, both in uniform and in disarray, are shown locked in a fierce struggle, embodying the raw power and determination of the opposing armies. The Ottoman forces, surrounded by the allied soldiers, were attempting to hold their ground against the advancing European forces. The scene is set against a backdrop of a chaotic battlefield, with smoke rising from the guns and the clashing of swords and cries of the soldiers. The allied forces, determined to break through the Russian blockade and besiege Sevastopol, were met with fierce resistance. This engraving is a testament to the brutal realities of war and the unyielding spirit of the soldiers involved. It is a poignant reminder of the historical significance of the Crimean War and the impact it had on European history. Origin: Spain, Catalonia, Barcelona, Biblioteca de Catalunya (National Library of Catalonia)
