Some Interesting Information About Some of the Illustrators

The illustrations in these books range from the departure of the Guards to the presentation of Crimean medals. They follow the procedure of the war from battle plans to scenes drawn in action by military men and reputable illustrators. They also include portraits of influential people involved in the war.

REAR-ADMIRAL WILLIAM ALLEN (1793-1864) was merely an amateur as an artist. He was highly decorated as an officer and took part in the Niger expeditions in 1832 and 1841-2. He was a lieutenant when he produced images for this publication and he ascended through the ranks until he became Rear-Admiral in 1862. He also contributed to The Shores and Islands of The Mediterranean Drawn From Nature. - c.1840

JOSEPH AUSTIN BENWELL was an illustrator, painter and watercolourist who worked in Kensington, London, England. His specialist subjects were primarily eastern, however, he also produced work on everyday life. Benwell travelled widely in Asia also visiting Egypt and Palestine. His wife was also an artist.

GEORGE W. TERRY (fl.1854-1858) was a decorative artist, other than this publication he contributed to the Illustrated London News and he also produced initial letters for Punch magazine.
