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.

Just letting you know that the whistle arrived here this morning safe and sound. Your excellent packaging was still totally intact and it took me all of five minutes to break into it to see my purchase. I am very pleased, it is a great whistle.
