Russians, diagonal lines of shade for the reserves, battalions, &c. Turks, without shade. The small circles shown in front of the armies, represent the Rifles, Zouaves, and Light Troops, as skirmishers in advance. The skirmishers of the Allied armies are without shade, inside the small circles. The line in front of and joining the small circles shows the direction of the fire of the Light Troops. The small circles, representing the Light Troops of the Russians, are shaded dark, preserving the line presented to their opponents in their front'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
