EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative full-length portrait, Colonel Edward Thomas Goodlake (1815-1867) stands proudly next to his horse against the backdrop of huts, as the sun sets over the distant sea. The image, captured in 1855, portrays Goodlake in his military prime during the height of the Crimean War (1853-1856). The Crimean War was a significant conflict between the Russian Empire and an alliance of European powers, including Britain and France, over territorial claims in the region. Goodlake, an esteemed British military officer, played a pivotal role in the campaign. He served as the Assistant Adjutant-General to Lord Raglan, the British Commander-in-Chief, and was instrumental in the planning and execution of several key battles. The serene yet determined expression on Goodlake's face, coupled with his impeccable military attire and the regal stance of his horse, exudes an aura of authority and leadership. The huts in the background, which may represent a temporary military encampment, serve as a reminder of the harsh realities of war and the transient nature of military life. The Eastern European setting is further emphasized by the traditional Ottoman-style architecture of the huts, which adds to the rich cultural tapestry of the Crimean War. The sea in the distance symbolizes the strategic importance of the region, with its control being a primary objective for all involved parties. This portrait offers a glimpse into the life of a brave and accomplished military leader during a pivotal moment in history. It is a testament to the courage, determination, and sacrifice of the soldiers who fought in the Crimean War and the empires that supported them.
