Images of War:
Images of war are commonplace today, but in 1855 Roger Fenton's images from Crimea -- one of the earliest extensive photographic records of warfare -- were nothing short of wondrous. He made more than 300 photographs, but few show the gruesome realities of war. Typical of Fenton's photos from Crimea were these scenes of a mortar crew at rest, top, and a British encampment, above. |
