Shadows of war: Roger Fenton's photographs of the Crimea, 1855

By

Abstract

In March 1855 Roger Fenton, a former solicitor and founding member of what is now known as the Royal Photographic Society, travelled to the war-torn Crimea to capture the brutality of war through the medium of photography. The Royal Collection has the most important holding of Fenton's work in the world, with some 350 of his photographs of the Crimean conflict. This new publication brings all these images together and highlights the impact that such images had on those back in Britain, seeing in them the realities of war documented in pictures for the first time. -
