Lieutenant-Colonel Edmund Hallewell, 28th (The North Gloucestershire) Regiment of Foot, 1855 (c)
Photograph by Roger Fenton (1819-1869), Crimean War, 1855 (c)
Traditionally the British public had had to rely on written descriptions or artists' impressions for images of foreign wars, but Fenton's photographs were something of a revelation. They enabled a more accurate description of scenes than could be gleaned from paintings, prints and drawings alone.
