EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mortar Batteries Front Picquet House Light Division" by Roger Fenton takes us back to the year 1855. The image showcases a scene of military precision and power, as mortar batteries stand in front of a picquet house. Fenton, an English photographer known for his pioneering work during the Crimean War, captures the essence of this historical moment with remarkable clarity. The salted paper print technique used adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its visual impact. The composition is carefully balanced, with the imposing mortar batteries taking center stage against a backdrop of rolling hills and distant buildings. The soldiers' uniforms are crisply detailed, highlighting their disciplined stance as they guard their post. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported to a time when warfare was fought with sheer force and strategic positioning. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who served in conflicts long past. This particular print measures 22.7 x 35.3 cm (8 15/16 x 13 7/8 inches), allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail captured by Fenton's lens. The Liszt Collection has preserved this piece from history for all to admire and reflect upon. Let it serve as a testament to both Fenton's artistic skill and our collective human experience during times of war and conflict.
