Catalogue Note
Rare. Durand-Brager (1814-1879) combined a naval career with that of marine artist. This folio resulted from his work while attached to the Black Sea expedition of the Cacique and Sampson under Vice-Admiral Hamelin during the Crimean War. Durand-Brager was war correspondent to several French papers and journals during the campaign, and painted a series of twenty pictures to form a panorama of the attack on Sebastopol now in the museum at Versailles.
