<p><i>The Attack on the Malakoff</i> by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Simpson" class="extiw" title="w:William Simpson">w:William Simpson</a>.  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.
