A CRIMEAN war scene captured by a pioneering Bury photographer could fetch up to $4,500 at a New York auction.
The photograph, measuring 10in by 14.5in, was taken by Roger Fenton in 1856.
Fenton, who lived from 1819 until 1869, was the world's first accredited war photographer.
Last year, 17 of his Crimean War photographs sold for a record £177,000 at auction.
The latest picture, titled "Plateau before Sebastopol: Turkish tents in the distance", will be auctioned by Christie's next Friday (April 6).
Fenton, who was born in Crimblehall, Bury, was a favourite of Queen Victoria and photographed the Royal Family at Balmoral and Windsor.
He also photographed in Russia and was a founder and first honorary secretary of the Photographic Society in 1853.
He gave up photography nine years later to follow law.
