EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the distinguished Lieutenant General Sir W. J. Codrington, K. C. B. , in 1855 during the Crimean War. Created by renowned photographer Roger Fenton, this salted paper print showcases a moment frozen in time from his iconic album "Photographs Taken in the Crimea" (1856). In this image, we see Lieutenant General Codrington seated outside a tent, exuding an air of authority and military prowess. Clad in his army uniform and overcoat, he stands as a symbol of British strength and resilience during this historic conflict. Codrington's facial hair, sideburns, and well-groomed appearance reflect the fashion trends of the 19th century. His stern expression hints at the challenges faced by military personnel during wartime. Fenton's artistry shines through in capturing not only Codrington's physical presence but also conveying a sense of history and heritage within this single frame. The composition highlights both the subject's individuality as well as his role within a larger context—the armed forces. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece at the Art Institute Chicago or any other art gallery fortunate enough to house it, we are transported back to an era defined by bravery and sacrifice. This photograph serves as a testament to both Roger Fenton's skill behind the lens and Lieutenant General Sir W. J. Codrington's contribution to British military history
