James Robertson of Constantinople

Abstract

Although well-known for his Crimean War pictures and his handsome studies of the architecture and landscape of the Mediterranean world, James Robertson has remained a shadowy figure in the annals of photography. The combination of an all-too-common name and a place of residence with which even today postal communication is difficult has proved an effective barrier to research. However, one or two new details about his life have recently emerged, and it is possible to deduce something more about his secret hopes and ambitions from the ways in which he tried to bring his pictures to the public's eye.
