Bolding: The War II - Roger Fenton

The first professional photographer to make successful war pictures was the Englishman Roger Fenton, whose photographs of the Crimean War (1854-55) are still well known.

Though Fenton's pictures were made for publication, they do not show death either.
This was largely for political reasons. The Crimean War was badly conducted, and widely criticized by the British press and public. Fenton, on the other hand, was in sympathy with the government, and Queen Victoria probably financed his excursion to the Crimea.

He was not likely to depict the war in a manner embarrassing to the Crown. He was, moreover, a gentlemen, at a time when, at least for the English, war was still a gentlemanly pursuit. An officer gained his commission by buying it, at a very high price. War, for the men who waged it, was a civilized enterprise conducted according to established rules. Military strategy was primary, and death only incidental, especially since most of the casualties were common soldiers.
