EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Lewis Edward Nolan, an influential figure in British military history. Born in 1820, Nolan served as a captain of Hussars and was also renowned for his writings on cavalry tactics. However, it was his fateful role in the Crimean (Russo-Turkish) War that etched his name into the annals of warfare. The image depicts Nolan carrying the ill-fated order that led to the infamous Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaclava. This disastrous command resulted in numerous casualties and has since become synonymous with bravery amidst adversity. In this wood engraving from 1854, we witness Nolan's valiant attempt to divert the brigade from their perilous path. Tragically, while courageously trying to redirect his comrades-in-arms, Captain Lewis Edward Nolan fell victim to enemy fire. The intensity of this moment is palpable through every stroke of the engraver's hand. This historical photograph serves as a poignant reminder of both heroism and sacrifice during times of war. It immortalizes Captain Lewis Edward Nolan as not only a soldier but also as a writer whose insights shaped cavalry strategies for generations to come. As part of our collection at Universal Images Group (UIG), this print stands testament to the indomitable spirit exhibited by soldiers like Captain Nolan throughout history—individuals who faced unimaginable challenges with unwavering determination and selflessness.
