EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Balaklava looking seawards" by Roger Fenton transports us back to the year 1855, capturing a moment in time with remarkable clarity. The image, printed on salted paper, measures 26.2 x 35.7 cm and showcases Fenton's mastery of composition. In this scene, Balaklava emerges before our eyes as we gaze out towards the sea. The English photographer skillfully captures the essence of this Crimean port town, known for its strategic significance during the war between Russia and an alliance of France, Britain, and Turkey. The tranquility of the water contrasts with the ruggedness of Balaklava's landscape - a testament to Fenton's ability to convey both serenity and strength within a single frame. The play of light adds depth to every detail: from the gentle ripples on the surface of the sea to each individual stone that forms Balaklava's shoreline. Fenton's keen eye for composition is evident in his choice to include elements such as boats gently bobbing in the distance and buildings dotting the coastline. These details provide context and invite viewers into this historical moment frozen in time. As we admire this print from Liszt Collection, let us appreciate not only Fenton's technical expertise but also his ability to capture emotions through his lens. This photograph serves as a reminder that even amidst conflict and turmoil, there is beauty waiting to be discovered if we take a moment to look seawards
