Roger Fenton, Camp of the 4th Dragoon Guards, 1855 (Detail)
Coinciding with the 150th anniversary of the end of the Crimean War (1854-1856), the first war to be documented by photographers, this exhibition shows original photographs and objects from the Harris Museum and Fulwood Barracks in Preston. It includes work by Roger Fenton and James Robertson and compares their work with the experiences of two local soldiers who served during the conflict. The exhibition also explores the response of the people of Preston to the war.
