Légende

Principal Street in Varna - Arrival of the Staff, 1854. Troops arriving in the port of Varna - once Turkish and later Bulgarian - on the Black Sea, prior to departing to fight in the Crimean War. 'On approaching it [the town] from sea, one is surprised by seeing in the harbour numerous French and English transports and steamers, all discharging their living cargoes of troops and horses. By the able assistance of the boats of the Bellerophon, London, Arethusa, and the French ships Jena and Marengo, and a Turkish frigate, the "disembarking" has been accomplished with the greatest ease and celerity. All appear in the highest spirits - soldiers and soldiers, English, French, and Turks joining together as if every day friends'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854.
