Légende

Arab Tabia, Silistria, 1854. Crimean War. 'Interior of Arab Tabia, as it remains since the 25th of June, when the siege of Silistria was abandoned by the Russians...View of Arab Tabia and Illanli, from the Russian batteries on the left of the Turkish positions. Arab Tabia is on the left of the drawing, Illanli on the right, and Silistria in the distance. The covered-way of the Russians leads up from the left of the drawing, and turns from the vale up the sides, so as to be as much as possible out of the way of shells. The covered-way has little holes in the sides, where the Russians ensconced themselves. The two tunnel-like apertures are for cooking'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
