A pictorial map of the Baltic theatre of the Crimean War

A large and lavishly illustrated map of the Baltic and countries bordering it, produced as a supplement to the Illustrated London News. With over fifty inset views and maps of the main cities of each country.

Produced soon after the end of the Crimean war, this map illustrates the areas where military action took place, especially Cronstadt, St Petersburg, and Finland (then part of the Russian Empire) where much of the miltary action took place, resulting in a stalemate.
On the verso a representation of 'The Fleet At The Great Naval Review, At Spithead, April 23, 1856'.
