This scarce map shows the positions of the Russian troops (in green) and English and French troops (in red and blue) around the city of Sevastopol, in present-day Ukraine, during the Crimean War. Sevastopol was a pivotal battleground, as it was a critical port in the Black Sea. The map detail includes the street layout of Sevastopol, numerous forts, artillery placements, and very detailed topography. Drawn by Lieutenant George R. Wilkinson and Captain T. Spratt for the British Hydrographic Office: this is the U.S. edition.
