EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Major General Lord George Paget, captured by the talented English photographer Roger Fenton in 1855. The image was later published on March 25,1856, and is now preserved as a salted paper print measuring 17.9 x 16.2 cm (7 1/16 x 6 3/8 inches). Lord George Paget's commanding presence is evident in this portrait, reflecting his esteemed military rank and aristocratic background. Fenton skillfully captures the general's dignified demeanor and resolute gaze, offering a glimpse into the world of Victorian-era military leadership. The composition exudes an air of authority and sophistication through its meticulous attention to detail. From the crispness of Lord George Paget's uniform to the intricate patterns adorning his epaulettes, every element contributes to a sense of grandeur befitting a major general. Roger Fenton's expertise shines through in this photograph as he masterfully manipulates light and shadow to create depth and dimensionality within such limited dimensions. The salted paper technique used adds a subtle warmth to the overall tone while preserving remarkable clarity. As part of the Liszt Collection, this historic piece offers viewers an opportunity to delve into both military history and early photography techniques. It serves as a testament not only to Lord George Paget's legacy but also to Roger Fenton's significant contributions as one of England’s pioneering photographers during that era.
