Balaclava - from a photograph by Robertson, 1856. Scene from the Crimean War. 'The entrance to Balaclava Harbour is two cables length, or four hundred yards, broad...On the right shore are tents and mud huts, and wooden huts, and a half-finished trumpery Greek church, with a green cupola; and the old tower, upon nearer inspection, expands into an extensive fortification, whose mouldering walls, and ruined bastions cover the sides and base of the hill on which it stands'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
