Summary edit

Description
English: Village of Petrowska, seven Miles from Fort Kinburn

Sketches of Crimea. Illustration for The Illustrated London News, 22 December 1855.

Read the ILN

PETROWVSKA AND POPROVA. These two Sketches represent the Tartar villages of Petrowska and Poprova, a few miles from Kinburn, to which the Allies, made a grand reconnaissance a few day ago. On that occasion the Russian soldiers, who had been there an hour previous, did not think proper to wait for the arrival of the enemy. The troops of the Czar seem to be always impressed with the importance of the axiom that " discretion is the better part of valour." They never dream of doing anything of a daring or chivalrous nature.
