В 1855 году британская газета "The
Times" опубликовала ряд статей, критикующих правительство за участие
Великобритании в непопулярной среди населения Крымской войне. После этих
статей в Крым отправляется первопроходец британской фотографии и первый
официальный военный фотограф Роджер Фентон, где по заданию принца
Альберта и издателя Томаса Агню запечатляет нейтральные портреты
английских солдат и виды захваченных крымских городов - эти снимки были
опубликованы в более лояльном еженедельнике "Illustrated London News",
как ответ на критические статьи "The Times". Крымские работы Фентона
считаются первыми в военной журналистике.
