signed l.l.: OW Brierly and inscribed on original mount: MEETING OF ENGLISH AND RUSSIAN FLAGS OF TRUCE OFF SEBASTOPOL/Boat of H.M.S. St JEAN D'ACRE LIEUt ALGERNON C.F.HENEAGE, R.N./receiving Sir John Campbell's Sword sent out by the Russians under Flag of Truce/June 27th 1855
In the present watercolour Lieutenant Algernon C.F.Heneage, R.N. can be seen receiving Sir John Campbell's Sword sent out by the Russians under the Flag of Truce on June 27th 1855. Lieutenant Heneage's ship is the H.M.S.St Jean D'Acre, a 199 tons 1st Rate Screwship, which was launched at Plymouth in 1853 and broken up in 1875.

General Sir John Campbell (1807-1855), having earlier served in Burma, Canada and the West Indies, fought at the Battles of Alma and Inkerman. He was put in charge of the fourth division during their assault on the Great Redan on 18th June 1855 and rushed out of the trenches at the head of his men only to be immediately cut down by enemy fire 'a courage amounting to rashness'

Licensing

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1894, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
