For the first time in human history, photo reports from the battlefield were taken during the Crimean War (1853-1856). Trenches, ships, soldiers, camps, Balaklava – we can see all this today in the pictures of the Englishman Roger Fenton. But no less interesting is the subjective, emotional view of the artists who directly participated in the war. One of these artists was Colonel (later General) of the British Army George Cadogan (1814-1880), who left a whole series of watercolors painted from the point of view of a soldier. Sometimes horrible, sometimes sentimental, sometimes whimsical, these works were collected in the album «Cadogan’s Crimea», published in 1980.
