1854373729The Times London 1854. Newspaper. Good Condition. The two Times Special Reports dated 13 November 1854 The Attack on Balaclava and 23 November 1854 The Battle of Inkermann provide detailed contemporary accounts of two of the most significant engagements of the Crimean War. The Balaclava issue contains the earliest extended reports of the battle of 25 October including the now-legendary Charge of the Light Brigade official despatches from Lord Raglan and narrative descriptions that shaped public perception of both the disaster and the heroism involved. The Inkermann issue presents Lord Raglan's despatches and extensive coverage of the desperate fighting on 5 November 1854 when outnumbered British and French forces repelled a much larger Russian army. Together these issues stand as immediate first-hand printed records of events that soon became iconic in British military history. These copies are original 1854 issues of The Times not later reprints or bound compilations. Issued as separate folio supplements printed on rag-based paper and headed with the distinctive Times masthead and royal crest they were sold individually to provide the public with full stand-alone accounts of major battles. Survival of such ephemeral publications is uncommon making these examples both scarce and historically significant. Their value lies not only in their rarity but also in their role as primary sources that convey how the war was reported understood and remembered at the time. Two issues each four pages in length. Some minor marginal tears probably inevitable with newspapers of this sort. Preserved in a modern card cover prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 29 x 44.5 cms. Category: Antiquarian & Rare; Newspapers; Special Interest. This item may require more postage than the rates shown for delivery outside the UK. If extra postage is required we will contact you before processing your order and you will be given the details and option to decline the extra cost. The Times unknown
