"The Field of Inkerman" 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, created by the Scottish artist William Simpson, is a significant collection of lithographs that document the events and landscapes of the Crimean War (1853-1856). The Crimean War, a conflict fought between the Russian Empire and an alliance of the Ottoman Empire, France, Britain, and Sardinia, was one of the first wars to be extensively documented through various forms of media, including art and photography.

William Simpson, often referred to as the "Crimean War artist," was commissioned to travel to the Crimea to capture scenes from the war. His works provided the British public with visual insights into the realities of the conflict, which were otherwise conveyed through written reports and early photographs. Simpson's lithographs are renowned for their detailed and accurate representation of military engagements, landscapes, and the daily lives of soldiers.

"The Field of Inkerman" specifically depicts the aftermath of the Battle of Inkerman, which took place on November 5, 1854. This battle was one of the major engagements of the Crimean War, where the allied forces of Britain and France successfully repelled a Russian attack. The plate captures the somber and chaotic scene following the battle, illustrating the devastation and the human cost of the conflict. Simpson's attention to detail and his ability to convey the emotional gravity of the scene make this plate a poignant historical document.

The publication of "The Seat of War in the East" by Paul and Dominic Colnaghi and Co. was a significant event in the art world, as it brought the realities of the Crimean War to a wider audience. The series was well-received and remains an important visual record of the war. Simpson's work, including "The Field of Inkerman," continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical value.
