From the Getty Museum record
View inside the carronade battery of the Redan after the French and British capture of the Malakoff and the Redan during the siege of Sevastopol. A trench supported by sandbags and wicker gabions winds through the fortification, the ground littered with artillery and other debris from battle. Three men stand at different points across the battery, looking for electrical wires.
