EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Burning Temple of the Winds, 1856" depicts a dramatic scene from the Siege of Sevastopol during the Crimean War. Painted by William Crimea Simpson in watercolor on paper, this artwork now resides at the National Army Museum in London. The image showcases a fierce battle between British and French troops against Russian forces. The main focus is on the burning Temple of the Winds, which stands as a symbol of destruction amidst the chaos of war.
