EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures General Cisse and his Staff Officer in a rare moment of relaxation. Taken by renowned photographer Roger Fenton during the Crimean War, this image showcases the off-duty side of these French army officers. Seated outside a bank, both men are seen engrossed in conversation, their military uniforms contrasting against the casual setting. The tassle hanging from the officer's uniform adds an element of elegance to the scene. The photograph exudes a sense of camaraderie as they discuss matters unknown to us. Their relaxed postures suggest that they have momentarily escaped the rigors of war, finding solace in each other's company. Fenton's expertise in capturing human emotion is evident here; he has frozen this intimate moment for eternity. The grainy texture and monochromatic tones add depth and character to this historical snapshot. Displayed proudly at London's National Army Museum, this print offers viewers a glimpse into the lives of soldiers during one of history's most significant conflicts. It serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos and duty, moments like these were cherished by those who served on the front lines. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece of photography artistry for all to appreciate its historical significance.
