Roger Fenton took over 30 photographs of Pierre François Joseph Bosquet throughout the Crimean War. General Bosquet was one of the first to serve in the Crimean War; he became a popular figure after his victory over Russian forces at the Battle of Inkerman in 1854. A successful commander, he eventually became a senator and marshal of France.
