EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Commissariat Difficulties The Road from Balaklava to Sevastopol, at Kadikoi" offers a glimpse into the challenging conditions faced by soldiers during the Crimean War. Created by William Simpson and reproduced by E Walker, this print showcases the treacherous journey between Balaklava and Sevastopol in wet weather. The image depicts a muddy road that stretches as far as the eye can see, with artillery carts struggling to make their way through the thick sludge. The stormy weather has rendered the roads impassable for wagons, making it incredibly difficult for supplies to reach the soldiers stationed in Sevastopol. As a result, they are forced to undertake an arduous 11-mile round trip on foot to Balaklava in search of essential provisions. The scene is filled with activity; oxen pulling heavy wagons strain against the weight while soldiers trudge alongside them. This artwork not only captures the physical challenges faced by these men but also highlights their resilience and determination amidst harsh conditions. Published in January 1855, this lithograph sheds light on one of many logistical difficulties encountered during wartime campaigns. It serves as a poignant reminder of both the sacrifices made by those involved in conflict and the importance of effective supply chains in sustaining military operations. Displayed at London's National Army Museum, this historical piece provides viewers with a glimpse into an era long past while honoring those who endured such hardships during times of war.
