介绍（中）	1855年2月20日，受曼彻斯特出版商托马斯·阿格纽（Thomas Agnew）委托，芬顿带着两名助手、一封阿尔伯特亲王的介绍信、五台照相机、七百个玻璃盘、一辆改装成旅行暗房的葡萄酒商面包车和三十六箱食品，前往黑海港口巴拉克拉瓦他对这场战争的大量记录——这是第一次使用摄影技术——聚焦于英国和法国军队的港口、营地和军官，以及更为如画的主题，如邹瓦夫、土耳其人和克罗地亚人。它没有包括战斗本身的照片，这超出了媒体的技术掌握范围。它也没有描绘受伤者和死者，这会冒犯芬顿希望的客户的品味和政治信仰。芬顿于6月底带着350多张底片离开克里米亚，这些照片于8月提交给维多利亚女王，并于9月初在伦敦展出，就在俄罗斯撤退和盟国获胜的消息传来之际。
介绍（英）	Commissioned by the Manchester publisher Thomas Agnew to document the Crimean War, Fenton departed for the Black Sea port of Balaklava on February 20, 1855, with two assistants, a letter of introduction from Prince Albert, five cameras, seven hundred glass plates, a wine merchant's van refitted as a traveling darkroom, and thirty-six large chests of provisions. His extensive documentation of the war-the first use of photography for that purpose-focused on the port, camps, and officers of the British and French armies, along with more picturesque subjects such as Zouaves, Turks, and Croats. It did not include photographs of the fighting itself, which was beyond the technical grasp of the medium. Nor did it depict the wounded and the dead, which would have offended both taste and the political beliefs of Fenton's hoped-for clientele. Fenton departed the Crimea in late June with more than 350 negatives, prints of which he presented to Queen Victoria in August and exhibited in London in early September, just as news arrived of the Russians' retreat and the allies' victory.
