Russian Guns and Bells from Sebastopol, just received at Woolwich Arsenal, 1856. Creator: Unknown.

Russian Guns and Bells from Sebastopol, just received at Woolwich Arsenal, [London], 1856. Booty from the Crimean War: '...several guns, and mortars, and two large bells, brought from Sebastopol, which have since been added to these trophies of the war. They are deposited at the entrance of the Arsenal grounds; some of them are heavy iron guns of large calibre, and of a most singular appearance. The ornamentation of the bells, which bear representations of saints, is tastefully executed. The Dial-square now presents a novel spectacle, having two spaces inclosed, which contain large numbers of Russian implements of war'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
