'Interior of the Redan, Taken from its left face looking towards the salient angle, looking South'

Coloured tinted lithograph from 'The Seat of War in the East - Second Series', after William Simpson. Published by Paul and Dominic Colnaghi. Printed by Day and Son.

Although the British twice failed to take the Redan, the French capture of the Malakhov left Sevastopol untenable and in the course of the following night the Russians evacuated the town on the south side of the harbour. The fighting inside the Redan on 8 September had been desperate and by the time Simpson executed his painting a degree of tidying-up had taken place.
