The cavalry at Balaklava, the fighting at Inkerman and the capture of the Malakoff are among the Crimean War scenes in the prints by William Henry Kearney, the British artist who lived from about 1800 to 1858. The prints come from publications dated 1860. Views of Sevastopol's bay, Constantinople, Valletta and Gibraltar follow the sea routes around the war, the fighting on the Chernaya adds another battle, and portraits of Napoleon III and Victor Emmanuel II represent the allied leaders. A Tallis and Rapkin map combines a plan of Sevastopol with related views.
