Description
Roger Fenton created Pasha and Bayadere in 1858 as part of a suite of photographs that were inspired by his visit to the Crimea in 1855. Made in Fenton's London studio, this picture expresses the Victorian photographer's fascination with the "exotic" East. In this thoughtful account, Gordon Baldwin places Fenton's photograph within the colorful context of European Orientalism of the 1840s and '50s.
