EDITORS COMMENTS
Sir Jas. York Scarlett and Edward Wm. Lowe: A Glimpse into Military History". This photograph, taken by the renowned Roger Fenton in 1855 during the Crimean War, offers a fascinating glimpse into military history. The image showcases two distinguished figures on horseback, Sir Jas. York Scarlett and Edward Wm. Lowe, both generals who played significant roles in this historic conflict. On the left side of the print stands Sir Jas. York Scarlett, a revered army officer known for leading the famous Charge of Heavy Brigade at Balaclava. His commanding presence is evident as he sits tall atop his majestic steed, embodying strength and determination. To his right stands General Edward Wm. Lowe, another prominent figure in British military history during that era. Clad in their meticulously tailored uniforms, these men epitomize bravery and leadership amidst the chaos of war. The thinly albumenized print technique used to create this artwork adds an ethereal quality to the composition while preserving its historical significance over time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece at an art gallery or institute like Chicago's Art Institute, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history when courage clashed with adversity on Crimean soil. Roger Fenton's masterful photography captures not only these two extraordinary individuals but also serves as a poignant reminder of all soldiers who have fought valiantly throughout centuries past – their sacrifices forever etched within our collective memory.
