    Description

    These are 3 ORIGINAL Victorian period larger size 6.25" x 4.35 " cabinet cards on heavy card stock with highly detailed images of British Army Infantry Officer's in the Victorian Boer War and earlier period in their full dress uniforms - with the home service helmets and swords.  Harder to find examples than the more common smaller Victorian CDV size ones.
    Still sharp images with very nice detail to the officer's tunics - dress helmets - swords and sword knots.  I recently sold off my Victorian British Infantry Officers Uniform and Headdress collection of 40 years and these great images were displayed with home service helmets in glass display cases.
    The Home Service Helmets all bear the Queen Victorian Crown on the Helmet Plate so all pre date 1902 in the Victorian era.
    Their reverse has full makers details:  Jas Russell & Sons Wimbledon S.W. Photographers to HM The Queen,  Bassano Photographic Studio 42 Pall Mall S.W.   and M...    Studios High Art Photographer Queens Gate Hall South Kensington.
    For my British Victorian uniform display I wanted photos depicting the dress uniform - the Home Service Helmet and Officers Sword and these great photos fully show all these elements of a Victorian Officers uniform.
    Great for display in a Victorian militaria collection!  Please note auction is for all Three of them and I wouldn't break up the set.
    Please examine the photos carefully as they form an important part of the item description and ask any questions before bidding. These are original Victorian era and so they do have age but no damage.
