James Robertson is a multi-talented individual who has left his mark in various fields. In the world of motorcycle racing, he made an impressive debut at the Suzuki 2015 Newcomers Manx Grand Prix. His skills and determination on the track were evident as he maneuvered his Suzuki with precision and speed. But James Robertson's talents extend beyond racing. He also had a keen eye for capturing moments through photography. One of his notable works includes an albumen print titled "View of the Parthenon from the West, " taken in 1853-54. This photograph beautifully showcases the grandeur and architectural brilliance of this ancient Greek structure. Not limited to landscapes, Robertson's lens also captured scenes that depicted historical events such as the Russian Barrack Battery during the Crimean War in 1855. The image reveals mantelets used for protection, offering a glimpse into military strategies employed during that time. In addition to his photographic endeavors, James Robertson was recognized for his legal expertise. As engraved in history, he served as Scotland's Lord Justice-General - a testament to his distinguished career within the legal profession. Robertson's passion for documenting significant moments extended beyond borders too. His work took him to Scutari where he captured hauntingly beautiful images like "Vue dans le Grand Cimetiere de Scutari. " This photograph portrays a scene within Scutari's large cemetery, evoking emotions and reflecting upon life's transience. The streets of Sebastopol also became subjects under Robertson's lens during 1855-56 when he documented soldiers patrolling its streets amidst conflict and turmoil. These photographs serve as visual records preserving memories that might have otherwise been forgotten over time. Constantinople was another destination where James Robertson showcased his panoramic photography skills with stunning results. His masterpiece titled "Panorama of Constantinople" transports viewers back in time, allowing them to immerse themselves in its rich cultural heritage.
