Description
American Civil War photograph taken at Westover Landing, Virginia, in August 1862 of Union cavalry officers. Pictured from left to right: Lieutenant W H Brown, 5th US Cavalry; Lieutenant H H King, 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry; Colonel William Woods Averell, 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry; Lieutenant Phillip Pollard, 3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry. The picture was taken during the Peninsula Campaign - a major Union operation launched in south-eastern Virginia in March 1862 and the first large scale offensive in the Eastern Theater of war. It aimed to capture the Confederate capital of Richmond by circumventing the Confederate Army in Northern Virginia but ended in a defeat for the Union. The photo by Alexander Gardner (1821 – 1882) is also notable in hindsight because of the presence of Colonel Averell (sitting). Averell (1832 - 1900), who rose to the rank of brevet Major General, became a diplomat after the war ended and subsequently became famous and wealthy by inventing American asphalt pavement.

The Crimean War (October 1853 - February 1856) was fought between the Russian Empire on one side and an alliance of the French Empire, British Empire, Ottoman Empire, Kingdom of Sardinia and the Duchy of Nassau on the other.

Description
Vintage engraving print depicting the Battle of Lexington on April 19 1775 - the first military engagement of the American Revolution. It depicts a line of "minutemen" in the foreground exchanging fire with oncoming British troops. The battle was a skirmish between regular British soldiers and approximately 77 local minutemen under the command of Captain John Parker at Lexington, a town in Middlesex County, Massachusetts. Several hundred redcoats were on their way from Boston to seize colonists' military stores in the nearby town of Concord when the confrontation occurred. The minutemen militia - so-called because they were "ready at a minute's notice" to repel attackers - confronted them on the green. It remains unclear who fired the first shot but an exchange of gunfire broke out which left eight colonists dead or dying. The British moved on to Concord, where the stores had been removed by the colonists, and another firefight ensued with a larger force of colonists. The soldiers withdrew and made their way back to Boston - continually harried by local militia firing from behind barns, trees and walls. The historic skirmishes claimed the lives of 273 British soldiers and 95 colonists. Print circa 1903 by John H Daniels & Son.

Colour print circa 1888 depicting the Siege of Vicksburg during the US Civil War. The siege, from May 25 - July 4 1863, occurred after Union Major General Ulysses S Grant and his Army of the Tennessee crossed the Mississippi River and drove Confederate forces under Lieutenant General John C Pemberton into the defensive lines surrounding the fortress city of Vicksburg. Two initial Union assaults were repulsed and Grant then besieged the garrison for more than 40 days before it finally surrendered. The Confederate surrender, when combined with General Robert E Lee's defeat at Gettysburg the previous day, is sometimes seen as the turning point of the war. Print by L Prang & Co.

Description
Vintage lithograph print depicting the Battle of the Boyne in Ireland in July 1690. It shows Protestant King William III (William of Orange) on a white horse leading his troops to victory over the former King James II, a Catholic. The battle between the two claimants to the English, Scottish and Irish thrones was fought on the banks of the River Boyne near the town of Drogheda and is the best remembered of the Williamite War. James II was attempting, with the help of French and Irish Catholics, to regain the crown he had lost in 1688 but was defeated by William III's force of English, Dutch, Danes, Scots, French Huguenots and Irish Protestants and subsequently fled the country. The dying man being carried by others in the lower right of the picture is the veteran soldier the Duke of Schomberg, William's second-in-command, who was killed in the fighting. The battle is celebrated in Northern Ireland as a victory for the Protestant cause. Print circa 1865 by Major & Knapp from a painting by Benjamin West.
