Large and detailed map of the Crimea, with insets showing the Black Sea and the defences of Sevastapol. Wyld takes great pains to point out that this is a new edition, rushed out less than two weeks after the Allies landed at the port of Eupatoria on the west coast. News of the Battle of Alma, 20th September, did not arrive early enough for the battle to be marked. WYLD0007
