Serendipity just caused me to chance upon the two updates to this article,
which are an interesting read. On reading it, I was reminded that we had had
a discussion here of Roger Fenton's Crimean War photography, and lo, here's
Wind=sor's original post.
You might like to follow up how the detective work panned out, together with
a very wide ranging discussion of the nature of "truth", and the surprising
conclusion.
But note that the on-page links to Part 3 are broken. Find Part 3 here:

I found this discussion interesting especially for catching the bloviating
Susan Sontag in an error because of lack intellectual rigor. I reached that
conclusion because it seems obvious to me that she got the order wrong. She
could not bother to look at the pictures and took the word of someone else
who disliked the photographer.
