EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases Brigadier General Van Straubenzee and his officers of the Buffs regiment, captured by renowned English photographer Roger Fenton in 1855. The image was published on March 25,1856, and is a salted paper print measuring approximately 17 × 16.7 cm (6 11/16 × 6 9/16 in. ). In this historic photograph, Brigadier General Van Straubenzee stands tall at the center, exuding an air of authority and command. Surrounding him are his esteemed officers, each adorned in their distinctive military uniforms that proudly represent their affiliation with the Buffs regiment. The composition beautifully captures a moment frozen in time - a glimpse into the lives of these brave men who dedicated themselves to serving their country during a significant period in history. Their expressions reveal determination and camaraderie as they stand united under Van Straubenzee's leadership. Roger Fenton's skillful craftsmanship is evident through his meticulous attention to detail and use of lighting techniques that enhance both the subjects' features and their military attire. This print serves as a testament to Fenton's ability to capture not only individual personalities but also the collective spirit of this distinguished group. As we observe this remarkable image today, it allows us to reflect upon the valorous deeds performed by these soldiers while honoring their commitment to duty and sacrifice for our nation.
