Gun and Mortar from Bomarsund, at the Crystal Palace, 1854. Creator: Unknown

Gun and Mortar from Bomarsund, at the Crystal Palace, 1854. Cannon captured during the Crimean War, on display in south London. At a moment when the war with Russia is uppermost in most men's minds, any trophy of the advantage we have gained over the enemy is likely to be a great attraction. Accordingly, the gun and mortar from Bomarsund, and placed in the Crystal Palace, possessed a paramount interest in the eyes of the thousands of holiday visitors. Even amidst the more showy objects in the Exhibition, these spoils of the war, and proofs of our mastery in the strife, have drawn around them thousands of inquiring visitors. We have engraved these interesting objects...'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
