Crimean commanders such as Raglan and Cardigan stand at the centre of these prints by Daniel John Pound (1820–1894), the British engraver who specialised in turning photographic likenesses into engravings. The admirals Napier, Dundas and Lyons appear beside army officers, while French commanders, Omar Pasha and their Russian opponents complete the cast, and a scene of the Alma battlefield moves beyond portraiture. Statesmen such as Russell, Palmerston and Canning bring in parliamentary government and British India. His portraits were issued in illustrated historical and biographical publications of the mid-nineteenth century.
