The Crimean War & Grand Tartary; First Photographs by James Robertson (1854-1856)
Howdy ya’ll. Let’s get back into the “first war ever photographed”; The Crimean War was fought from October 1853 through February 1856. On one side was Russia. On the other; The Ottoman Empire, France, The United Kingdom and Sardinia. The War was fought not just in Crimea; it also spanned The North Caucasus, The Balkans, The Black, Baltic, & White Seas, and The Far East.
These photographs come to us by the way of James Robertson. Of all the photographs of The Crimean War, at least 60 made by Robertson are considered to be “the best known” in European sources. They are dated 1854-1856. For being such early photographs, they are very detailed.
In Crimea, we can see numerous mud-covered dwellings, some megalithic in size. Is this “Grand Tartary”? We will go over the current narrative briefly, and dive into the images. I’d love to hear your thoughts and ideas in the comments down below. Please save any photographs that stand out to you, share the video, like, and subscribe.
