Sebastopol from the East is a notable plate from the series "The Seat of War in the East," published by Paul and Dominic Colnaghi and Co. in 1856. This series of lithographs was created by the Scottish artist William Simpson, who is renowned for his detailed and evocative depictions of scenes from the Crimean War. The series was commissioned to provide the British public with visual accounts of the war, which was one of the first conflicts to be extensively covered by war correspondents and artists.

His works are celebrated for their accuracy and attention to detail, providing a valuable historical record of the conflict. Sebastopol from the East is one of the many plates that illustrate the strategic and tumultuous landscapes of the Crimean Peninsula during the war.

The plate depicts the city of Sebastopol, a crucial stronghold for the Russian Empire, from an eastern vantage point. The city was the focal point of the Siege of Sebastopol, a major military engagement during the Crimean War, which lasted from October 1854 to September 1855. Simpson's work captures the fortifications, the surrounding terrain, and the military encampments, offering a comprehensive view of the besieged city.
