Roger Fenton was one of the pioneers of war photography.

Description

In 1855 Fenton traveled to the Crimea, a peninsula on the Black Sea in Eastern Europe, as part of a commercial venture to produce and publish photographs of the Crimean War. In this conflict, French, British, and Turkish troops were fighting against the Russian military. Lord Burghersh (1784–1859), a British soldier and diplomat, traveled to the Crimea in his role as ambassador to Austria; he was involved in negotiations with the Turkish government over the war.
