This engraving depicts the camp of the British Army's Light Cavalry Brigade during the Crimean War from a wide and panoramic perspective. Tents arranged across the open terrain, groups of soldiers, and camp animals emphasize the organization and scale of the camp. William Simpson, who painted this engraving, was a painter and engraver sent to the war zones for The Illustrated London News during the Crimean War.
