EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Battery No. 22 (Batterie No. 22)" by Jean-Charles Langlois takes us back to the year 1855, capturing a moment frozen in time. The image showcases the remarkable talent of French photographer Langlois, who expertly utilized the salted paper print technique to create this masterpiece. Measuring at 25.6 x 32.1 cm (10 1/16 x 12 5/8 in. ), this photograph transports us to an era long gone, where batteries played a crucial role in warfare and defense strategies. The composition is striking, with Battery No. 22 standing tall against a backdrop of vast open space. Langlois' attention to detail is evident as every element within the frame appears meticulously placed - from the cannons positioned strategically on top of the battery walls to the soldiers scattered around its perimeter, engrossed in their duties. The use of salted paper adds depth and texture to this historical piece, enhancing its overall appeal and giving it an authentic vintage feel that transports viewers back over a century ago. Jean-Charles Langlois was undoubtedly a master of his craft; his ability to capture both grandeur and subtlety shines through in this photograph. It serves as a testament not only to his artistic prowess but also as an important document preserving history for generations to come.
