Title Sepia photo of French garrison artillery
Nationality British
Period c 1880-90
Price £40.00

This sepia photograph, pasted on card cut from a page from a British military album, shows a howitzer of the French garrison artillery, together with a group of officers and senior NCOs. The caption in English underneath simply says 'French Artillery'.

The photograph measures 23.5 x 16.5cm. There is some buckling and shrinkage of the card backing, but the image remains nice and sharp, with little or no abrasion to the surface. The overall colour is a somewhat yellowed sepia.

The helmet arrived the day before yesterday and I had a look at it today and everything looks perfect. You packed it up very well indeed. ... I've never seen him so thrilled with a gift!

I am just dropping your company a line to say thank you for the 2nd WW Iron Cross, that my brother has purchased off your site Thursday evening. We received it 1st class today and it is in excellent condition. Many thanks again.
