EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Plains Balaklava II" by Roger Fenton takes us back to the year 1855, during the Crimean War. Fenton, an English photographer born in 1819, was known for his pioneering work in the field of war photography. This particular image showcases a vast expanse of plains in Balaklava, a significant location during the war. The composition is strikingly beautiful yet haunting at the same time. The desolate landscape stretches out as far as the eye can see, with no signs of life or civilization. The soft tones and delicate details captured through Fenton's salted paper printing technique add depth and texture to this historical scene. Measuring 16 x 25.4 cm (6 5/16 x 10 inches), this print transports viewers back to a pivotal moment in history when conflicts raged on these very plains. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers and civilians alike during times of war. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it is important to appreciate both its artistic value and its historical significance. This image allows us to reflect on our past while also reminding us of our duty to strive for peace and understanding in our present world.
