scarce views of the Crimean War
WARRE, Lt. Col. Henry James.
Sketches in the Crimea.
London, Dickinson Bros., 1856.
Sir Henry James Warre (1819-1898) rose to Lieutenant-General during his forty year career in the British Army, during which he saw action in North America, Crimea, India, New Zealand, and Afghanistan. A talented artist, he also published a set of plates depicting North America and Oregon, where he had been sent on a reconnaissance mission. His active role in the Crimean conflict commanding the 57th Regiment of Foot means these views include scenes of allied camps, gunfire and troops.
First edition; landscape 4to (19.5 x 28.5 cm); 17 hand-coloured lithographed plates including lithographed title with hand-coloured vignette by Dickinson Bros. after Warre, a touch of spotting to plates not affecting images, crease to outer margin of title; publisher's blind embossed blue cloth, upper cover titled in gilt, a little restoration to spine, a very good copy.
