Officers on the Staff of Lieutenant General Sir Richard England 1855

"Officers on the Staff of Lieutenant General Sir Richard England" is a 1855 photograph by Roger Fenton. This salted paper print, now in the Art Institute of Chicago, captures a group of officers standing outside a simple stone building. Fenton, a pioneer of war photography, documented the Crimean War (1853-1856) with his camera, capturing the realities of conflict for a wider audience. His images, such as this one, helped to shift public perception of war, bringing the harsh realities of battlefield life to the forefront.
