EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph, captured by Roger Fenton in 1855, offers a mesmerizing view of Balaklava from Guards Hill during the Crimean War. The image is part of Fenton's renowned album titled "Photographic Pictures of the Seat of War in the Crimea" which serves as an invaluable historical record. From this vantage point on Guards Hill, we are transported back to a significant moment in history. The encampment below reveals rows upon rows of military tents scattered across the valley, providing shelter for soldiers engaged in conflict. The hillsides surrounding Balaklava stand tall and majestic, adding a sense of grandeur to this war-torn landscape.
