Fenton Crimean War Photographs view detail comment email this

"Roger Fenton's Crimean War photographs represent one of the earliest systematic attempts to document a war through the medium of photography. ... While these photographs present a substantial documentary record of the participants and the landscape of the war, there are no actual combat scenes, nor are there any scenes of the devastating effects of war." Approximately 250 images; searchable and browsable. Includes a bibliography and related links. From the Library of Congress.
