Great Britain/Russia: Roger Fenton's assistant Marcus Sparling seated on the horse-drawn 'Photographic Van' employed by Fenton during the Crimean War (1853-1856), 1855. Roger Fenton (28 March 1819 – 8 August 1869) was a pioneering British photographer, one of the first war photographers. The Crimean War was one of the first wars to be documented extensively in written reports and photographs, notably by Roger Fenton and William Russell (for the Times). News correspondence reaching Britain from the Crimea was the first time the public were kept informed of the day-to-day realities of war.
