EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the Crimean War, circa 1855. The image showcases the strategic positioning of British soldiers behind a formidable berm, or raised earth fortification known as Picquet House. As we gaze upon this historical scene captured by Roger Fenton, we are reminded of the bravery and resilience displayed by these men in the face of conflict. The composition draws our attention to a medium-sized group of British soldiers who stand stoically behind their protective barrier. Their uniforms bear witness to their allegiance, proudly representing the strength and unity of the British army during this tumultuous time. Intriguingly, scattered throughout the frame are mortar batteries - powerful weapons that played a crucial role in defending against enemy forces. These cannons serve as a reminder of both the destructive power unleashed on battlefields and the ingenuity employed by military strategists. Fenton's masterful lens captures not only an important moment in history but also reveals glimpses into daily life on campgrounds during war times. This photograph offers us a rare glimpse into what it was like for these brave soldiers stationed at Picquet House. As we contemplate this poignant snapshot from over 150 years ago, let us remember those who fought valiantly during one of history's most significant conflicts - forever immortalized through Roger Fenton's lens.
