EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Fitzroy James Henry Somerset, 1st Baron Raglan, an esteemed English soldier from around 1860. Lord Raglan played a significant role as the commander of the British army during the Crimean War (1853-1856), also known as the Russo-Turkish War. In this portrait, he exudes strength and determination in his military uniform. Lord Raglan's leadership skills were evident in his victory at the battle of Alma. However, it was also under his command that the infamous order for the suicidal charge of the Light Brigade was given during the Battle of Balaclava. This ill-fated decision has become a symbol of military miscommunication and tragedy. The monochrome engraving showcases Lord Raglan's prominent position within British history as a field marshal and general. His stern expression reflects both his dedication to duty and perhaps some burden carried from past decisions made on behalf of his troops. This image serves as a reminder of Lord Raglan's complex legacy - a respected military leader who experienced both triumphs and failures throughout his career. The photograph offers us insight into an influential figure whose actions continue to be studied by historians today.
