EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, now colorized, is a salted paper print titled "Omar Pasha," taken by renowned British photographer Roger Fenton in 1855 during his time in the Crimea. The photograph is plate 31 from Fenton's album "Photographs taken in the Crimea" (1856), which documented the Crimean War and its aftermath. Omar Pasha, also known as Omar Pasha Vidinlija or Omar Pasha of Vidin, was a Serbian-born Ottoman military leader and statesman. He rose to prominence during the Crimean War, serving as the Ottoman commander-in-chief in the eastern theater. In this portrait, Pasha is shown seated, dressed in a long, flowing coat and jacket, with a fur-trimmed collar and intricate embroidery. His direct gaze and confident posture convey a sense of authority and power. The background of the image is simple, with a plain wall and a single window providing a subtle contrast to the richly-detailed apparel of the subject. The photograph was taken during a pivotal moment in history, with the Crimean War (1853-1856) having recently ended and the balance of power in Europe shifting. This evocative image, now preserved at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the artistry and historical significance of Roger Fenton's work. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the fashion, culture, and politics of the 19th century.
