A Pic-Nic in the Baltic - drawn by J. W. Carmichael, 1856. British officers enjoying a break from the Crimean War. 'This Picnic, sketched by Mr. Carmichael, was proposed on board H.M.S. Edinburgh, when she was lying off Nargen, July 30, 1855. The First Lieutenant kindly allowed all the officers leave that could be spared. They landed at ten a m...and walked four miles inland to a Russian village...they unpacked the provisions, and sat down comfortably and primitively to a most refreshing meal, seasoned by good spirits and all the frolic of a sailors' treat on shore'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
