EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Col. Gordon, a distinguished member of the Royal Engineers, alongside renowned English photographer Roger Fenton. The image was captured in Crimea during 1855, amidst the tumultuous Crimean War. Col. Gordon stands tall and proud in his military uniform, exuding an air of authority and bravery. His gaze is focused and determined, reflecting his commitment to serving his country during this challenging period in history. By his side stands Roger Fenton, known for his pioneering work in photography. The albumen silver print technique used to create this image adds depth and richness to every detail captured by Fenton's lens. The monochrome tones lend a timeless quality to the photograph, emphasizing its historical significance. This particular print holds immense value beyond its aesthetic appeal; it serves as a testament to the courage and sacrifice displayed by individuals like Col. Gordon who dedicated their lives to protecting their nation during times of war. As we observe this remarkable piece from the Liszt Collection, we are reminded of the power of photography as a medium for preserving moments that shape our collective memory. It allows us to connect with past events on a visceral level and gain insight into the experiences of those who came before us.
