The Attack on the Malakoff by w:William Simpson. Print shows the French assault on the Malakoff, the main Russian fortification before Sevastopolʹ, on 7 September 1855. French soldiers advance from the left, Zouaves from the left foreground, crossing the ditch and engaging Russian soldiers in hand-to-hand combat on the right. This was published on 22 October 1855, less than two months after the battle, which is about as contemporary to the event as mass-reproduced colour images got at the time. Français L'attaque de Malakoff par w:William Simpson. La gravure montre l'assaut sur Malakoff, la plus importante fortification russe devant Sébastopol, le 7 septembre 1855, au cours de la guerre de Crimée. Soldats français et Zouaves s'avancent, traversent le fossé, et engagent les soldats russes dans un combat au corps à corps.

Le général Mac-Mahon donne ses dernières instructions aux compagnies d'assaut du Ier zouaves du colonel Collineau avant la prise de la redoute de Malakoff (par Alphonse Antoine Aillaud)

Léon-Eugène Méhédin (French, 1828-1905) and Colonel Jean-Charles Langlois (French 1789-1870) Battery, Malakoff, 1855 Varnished salt print from waxed paper negative Credit line 1998.175 The only known collaboration of Léon-Eugène Méhédin and Colonel Jean-Charles Langlois is their gripping documentation of the Crimean War (1853- 56). This desolate image records the aftermath of a siege on the fortifications at Malakoff, near the Russian naval base of Sebastopol. The cannons stand like sentinels, witnesses to the horrors of combat. Only vestiges of human presence remain in the scraps of debris, the sandbags, and the crumbling embankment reinforced by a woven wall of twigs. Through their careful selection of details and the stark contrast between light and dark, the photographers conveyed a bleakness that emphasizes the brutal reality of war. The Crimean conflict was the first to be covered extensively by photographers. The battles themselves could not be recorded, however, because of the technical limitations associated with early paper and glass negative processes.
