    Fenton's Crimean War Photography

    Roger Fenton, The artist's van

    William Agnew, of the publishing firm Thomas Agnew & Sons, must have proposed Fenton as the photographer for a commercial publishing venture to the Crimea sometime before a hurricane claimed the life of the official government photographer in the Crimea in November 1854, for during the fall of that year Fenton purchased a former wine merchant's van and converted it to a mobile darkroom. He hired an assistant, and traveled the English countryside testing the suitability of the van. In February 1855 Fenton set sail for the Crimea aboard the Hecla, traveling under royal patronage and with the assistance of the British government

    Its not 1Hp for sure as that type of British limber had the poles on the right while the left horse would be harnessed.
    So it could be two four or six horse drawn
