"Camp of the Third Division" is a notable plate from the series "The Seat of War in the East," published by Paul and Dominic Colnaghi and Co. in 1855. This series of lithographs was created by the Scottish artist William Simpson, who is often regarded as one of the pioneers of war art. Simpson's work provides a vivid and detailed visual account of the Crimean War, a conflict fought from 1853 to 1856 in which the Ottoman Empire, allied with France, Britain, and Sardinia, opposed the Russian Empire.

The "Camp of the Third Division" plate captures a moment in the daily life of the British Third Division during the Crimean War. Simpson's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey the atmosphere of the military encampment make this work an invaluable historical document. The scene is set against the rugged terrain of the Crimean Peninsula, with tents and military equipment scattered across the landscape. Soldiers are depicted in various activities, from tending to their duties to moments of rest and camaraderie, providing a comprehensive glimpse into the life of a soldier during this period.

Simpson's work is characterized by its accuracy and the artist's commitment to firsthand observation. He traveled to the Crimea in 1854, where he sketched scenes of battles, camps, and the daily lives of soldiers. These sketches were later transformed into lithographs, which were widely distributed and brought the realities of the Crimean War to the public in Britain and beyond. The publication of "The Seat of War in the East" was a significant achievement in war reportage, combining artistic skill with journalistic integrity.

The "Camp of the Third Division" plate, like the other works in the series, played a crucial role in shaping public perception of the Crimean War. It provided a visual narrative that complemented written reports, helping to inform and influence contemporary and future understandings of the conflict. Simpson's work remains a significant historical and artistic record, offering insights into the experiences of soldiers and the conditions of war during the mid-19th century.
