"Second Charge of the Guards when they retook the Two Gun Battery at the Battle of Inkerman" is a historical engraving by French artist Edmond Morin (1824–1882), based on an original work by the British artist William Simpson (1823–1899). The engraving depicts a pivotal moment during the Battle of Inkerman, which was a significant engagement in the Crimean War. The battle took place on November 5, 1854, and involved British forces, including the Grenadier Guards, against Russian troops in a fiercely contested struggle for control of strategic artillery positions.

William Simpson, often referred to as the "Crimean War artist," was renowned for his detailed and vivid representations of military scenes. His firsthand experience as an eyewitness to the war allowed him to capture the intensity and chaos of battle with authenticity. Simpson's original work served as the basis for Morin's engraving, which was part of "The Seat of War in the East - First Series," a collection of prints published by Colnaghi and Co. in 1855. This series aimed to bring the events of the Crimean War to the public's attention through the medium of visual art.

The engraving itself illustrates the valor and determination of the British Guards as they launched a counterattack to reclaim the Two Gun Battery, a key defensive position that had been captured by Russian forces. The scene is marked by dynamic movement, with British soldiers advancing amidst the smoke and confusion of combat. Morin's skillful use of line and shading brings the intensity of the battle to life, highlighting the heroism of the soldiers and the grim reality of 19th-century warfare.

As a historical document, "Second Charge of the Guards when they retook the Two Gun Battery at the Battle of Inkerman" not only serves as a testament to the artistic talents of both Simpson and Morin but also provides a visual narrative of one of the Crimean War's most dramatic episodes. The engraving remains an important piece of military art and a valuable resource for understanding the visual culture and historical memory of the Crimean War.
