EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intense cavalry affair of the heights of Bulganak during the Crimean War on 19 September 1854. The image, titled "The Cavalry Affair of the Heights of Bulganak - The First Gun" was taken by William Simpson and is now part of a private collection. In this historic moment frozen in time, we witness the chaos and bravery that defined this significant battle. The composition draws our attention to a pivotal point as soldiers engage in combat around the first gun. Their faces etched with determination and adrenaline, they fight valiantly for their cause. Simpson's expert eye for detail allows us to immerse ourselves in this harrowing scene. From billowing smoke to charging horses, every element adds to the sense of urgency and danger unfolding before our eyes. This powerful photograph originally served as an illustration for George Brackenbury's book "The Campaign in the Crimea" published by Colnaghi in 1855. It offers a glimpse into one chapter of this brutal conflict that forever changed history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded not only of the sacrifices made by those involved but also how art can capture moments that words alone cannot convey.
