Portret van luitenant-kolonel John Miller Adye van de Royal artillery en Assistant Adjudant General van het Britse 'Ordnance Department' tijdens de Krimoorlog Possibly 1855 - 1856

This portrait, taken by Roger Fenton in 1855 or 1856, features Lieutenant Colonel John Miller Adye, a British military officer who served in the Crimean War. Fenton, a pioneer in the art of photography, captures Adye in a formal pose, seated outdoors with a sword at his side. The crisp details of Adye's uniform and the stark background create a striking visual contrast, reflecting the dramatic backdrop of the Crimean War. This photograph stands as a testament to Fenton's ability to blend documentary realism with artistic sensitivity.
