EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cooking House 8th Hussars" by Roger Fenton transports us back to a significant moment in history. Taken in 1855 and printed on January 1,1856, this salted paper print measures approximately 15.9 x 20.3 cm (6 1/4 x 8 inches). The image depicts the bustling activity within the cooking house of the renowned British cavalry regiment, the 8th Hussars. The scene is filled with soldiers diligently preparing meals for their comrades, showcasing both camaraderie and discipline within military life during that era. Roger Fenton, an English photographer born in 1819 and who passed away in1869, was known for his pioneering work capturing scenes from the Crimean War. His ability to document such intimate moments amidst chaotic battlefields made him one of the most influential photographers of his time. In this particular photograph, Fenton's skillful composition allows us to witness not only the physical labor involved but also hints at the emotional toll war takes on those involved. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst conflict there are moments of respite and humanity. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Liszt Collection, we are transported back over a century ago when soldiers relied on each other for sustenance and support during times of war. This print stands as a testament to both Fenton's talent as a photographer and to the resilience of those who served in the armed forces throughout history
