French Troops landing at Cape Chersonese, 1854. Creator: Unknown

French Troops landing at Cape Chersonese, 1854. Crimean War. The projecting jetty is crowded with warlike implements recently landed from the transports, of which a large number are lying at anchor. A file of military waggons is passing to the camp, some of them drawn by six or eight horses, with mounted drivers. A glimpse into the Intendant's tent in the foreground shows several persons busily engaged writing out reports to be forwarded to head-quarters...In the event of any attack by the Russians, the warships in the bay would...be able to give effectual assistance to the troops on shore...the ancient city of Chersonesus...was founded by the Greeks 600 years before Christ...The ruins of this town still remain; but they have been sadly demolished by the subjects of [Russian Tsar] Nicholas, who do not seem to have very refined tastes'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
