EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative daguerreotype captures the British Infantry of the Line encamped at Scutari during the Crimean War, as depicted in the Illustrated London News in 1854. The image, taken by Mr. James Robertson of Constantinople, offers a glimpse into the living conditions of the soldiers far from home. The men, dressed in their uniforms of the time, are shown gathered around their tents, some preparing meals, while others attend to their weapons – rifles and guns – which were essential for their survival and defense. The camp is situated in the picturesque setting of Scutari, now known as Uskudar, on the Asian side of Istanbul, overlooking the Marmara Sea. The soldiers appear focused and determined, their expressions conveying the hardships and challenges they faced during their service. The print, which is part of The Print Collector collection, is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by the British military during the Crimean War and the role of the press in documenting historical events.
