Title Sepia photo of Spanish infantry
Nationality British
Period c 1880-90
Sold

This sepia photograph, pasted on a card page torn from a British military album, shows a Spanish infantry battalion, complete with its band and bugle corps parading in front of a group of infantry. The caption below the photograph simply says 'Spain - Infantry' and there is a clear image of a Spanish town in the background.

The dimensions of the photo are 22.5 x 17cm. Apart from some distortion of the image due to the buckling and shrinkage of the card and a little fading, the image is still quite sharp. The overall colour is a somewhat yellowed sepia.

testimonials

I received the item today, you had packed it well and there were no problems with customs. Overall I was happy with it although the blade was a little bit worse than I had imagined, however thank you for your efforts.

Having received the beautiful medal that has been the subject of many recent phone calls, I am absolutely delighted with it. More importantly, the research you provided into the military backgrounds of all those involved made it all the more poignant. Thank you for your highly professional and friendly help and advice throughout the transaction.
