Photograph from a series showing Crimean battlefields, 1900-01. The photograph shows the view from the 4th Bastion looking towards the Victoria Battery. In the foreground there is an industrial area of Sevastopol with railway tracks and a factory with a tall chimney. Behind is a ridge, dotted with buildings. The photograph is tinted with pinks and blues. During the Siege of Sevastopol of 1854-55 the Russians built a series of bastions to protect the city. Significant sites from the Crimean War continued to be of interest to British, French and Russian photographers even decades after the conflict.
