Eupatoria - the Harbour, 1854. Yevpatoria is a city in Western Crimea on the Black Sea. It was the first port landed at by the allies during the Crimean War. 'One of the points at which the Allied Expedition landed on the 13th of September, lies on a spit of sand, and for a long time it was imagined that it was defended by heavy works, for the solid stone houses close by the sea-coast were so increased by refraction and lifted up so high, that they looked like forts. Towards the south are innumerable windmills; and several bathing-boxes, gaily painted, along the beach give an air of civitisation to the place. The chapel is a conspicuous object, and boasts a large dome; and two churches rise amid the red-tiled and stuccoed houses, and the minarets of two mosques are seen'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
