Map of the Crimea and plan of Sebastopol, 1854. Creator: John Dower

Map of the Crimea and plan of Sebastopol, 1854. Crimean War. In the expectation of great sacrifices and severe contests that must attend the attack upon Sebastopol, which is certain to make a most obstinate resistance, the commanders of the expedition have made every arrangement for the wounded, and orders have been sent to Constantinople to keep the hospitals in readiness for the reception of 10, 000 men...No good object could now be obtained by attacking Perekop, as [Russian] troops intended for the defence of the Crimea must already be in the peninsula, and some weeks must elapse before reinforcements from Kherson...can reach Sebastopol. No-one who saw the expedition start was inclined to doubt that it would be successful. New fieldworks have been constructed on the heights around Sebastopol, and the Russians in Odessa do not seem to feel any alarm for the fate of that fortress'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
