	Roger Fenton Crimean War Photographs (Prints and Photographs Reading Room, Library of Congress)
		Roger Fenton's Crimean War photographs represent one of the earliest systematic attempts to document a war through the medium of photography.
		Fenton photographed the leading figures of the allied armies, documented the care and quality of camp life of the British soldiers, as well as scenes in and around Balaklava, and on the plateau before Sevastopol, but refrained from images of combat or its aftermath.
		Fenton's "contribution to the early history of photography is one of the most wide-ranging in all aspects of the medium, technical, polemical, and most important, aesthetic.

		For example, Fenton (1819-1869) is mostly remembered for his pictures taken during the Crimean War, yet there are only seven scenes from the Crimea among the 91 prints in the show.
		This is also true of the still life pictures Fenton made near the end of his career: The grapes and peaches and pineapples that he arranged on a tabletop are invitingly palpable in these prints, even if the arrangements themselves are a rehash of academic realist paintings.
		If we take to heart Greenough's observation that Fenton lived "on the cusp between old and new, between an order that was thoroughly known and a nascent one that was fluid and uncertain," it seems clear why, in 1862, Fenton abandoned photography as abruptly as he adopted it.

		In that decade Fenton was England's preeminent landscape and architectural photographer and a founder and leader of the Photographic Society, which was organized for the advancement of the medium.
		The general course of Fenton's involvement with the medium was not unique to his era, though the story is better known in France--for example, the histories of Nadar and Gustave Le Gray, among others--than in England.
		Meanwhile, in England, Fenton's swift rise to public prominence as spokesperson for the medium--he lectured at the first public exhibition of photography in Britain in 1852--implies that photography was a much better match than painting for his artistic abilities, ambition and social skills.

	A History of Photography, by Robert Leggat: FENTON, Roger
		Roger Fenton is particularly known for his coverage of the Crimean War, which is a pity, because it only formed a small proportion of his output in other areas, notably landscape photography, and also somewhat obscures the major part he played in promoting photography in general.
		Fenton's war pictures, therefore, tend to portray war as a gorgeous pageant; there are no dead bodies, and one might almost imagine that the Crimean war was almost like a picnic.
		Fenton also produced a number of Stereoscopes of architecture, landscapes and still life subjects.

		Fenton's life is almost as interesting as his photographs.
		Fenton's varied career included portraits of Queen Victoria and her royal estates, and a trip to Kiev, Russia in 1854 to document the building of a bridge.
		But with Fenton's imaginative eye and artistic talent, we are left with visions that even a hundred years later can captivate the eye.

	All the Mighty World: The Photographs of Roger Fenton, 1852 - 1860
		The photographic career of Roger Fenton (1819-1869) lasted only eleven years, but during that time he became the most famous photographer in Britain.
		Part of the second generation of photographers who came to maturity in the 1850s—only a decade after the process was invented—Fenton strove to elevate the new medium to the status of a fine art and to establish it as a respected profession.
		Fenton himself photographed Tintern Abbey, and his landscapes reveal a reverence for nature that echoes Wordsworth's passion.

	Roger Fenton's Photography
		Silly and strange as it may seem to us now, dressing up like an Arab and having your picture made was a standard pastime in Victorian Britain: Orientalism was a common motif in the painting of Fenton's time, and it must have been natural for him to carry it over into photography.
		Most of the people posing in the series from which this image is taken are friends, and some are members of his family, though the woman in this one, louche as it is, is apparently a model.
		Note, for relativism's sake, how stereotypes about the Near East have shifted: To Fenton, as to his contemporary, Flaubert, it stands for sensuality, licentiousness, and a kind of dreamy exoticism.
