      In March 1855, Roger Fenton, a former solicitor and founding member of what is now known as the Royal Photographic Society, travelled to war-torn Crimea to capture the brutality of war through the medium of photgraphy, one of the first to do so. Royal Collection Trust has the most important holding of his work in the world, with some 350 of his photo - graphs. This new publication will bring these together, along with other never before published objects and images, for the very first time. It will also highlight the impact of the Crimean War in the UK throughout 1855-6 and its long terms effects on both British foreign policy, the royal family and na - tional feeling toward the documented realities of war.

      The book highlights the groundbreaking contributions of Julia Margaret Cameron and Roger Fenton to early British photography. Cameron's imaginative portrayals of mythological and historical scenes, along with Fenton's poignant battlefield images from the Crimean War, redefined photographic techniques and affirmed photography's status as a legitimate art form. Featuring stunning reproductions from Queen Victoria's collection, the work provides a unique insight into both the royal family's life and the artistic landscape of Victorian England.

      "Among the greatest achievements in the history of photography, those of the early polar explorers surely stand out, for the beauty of their images and the almost impossible conditions they encountered. And none of these are more remarkable than the photographs recorded by the official chroniclers of two epic Antarctic expeditions - that of Robert Falcon Scott, departed in 1910, which tragically resulted in his death; and, four years later, that of Ernest Shackleton, whose heroic sea journey from Elephant Island to South Georgia has become the stuff of legend."--Publisher's description
