This print, titled "Grenadier Guards Drummer, ca. 1856" showcases the artistry of Joseph Cundall during the 19th century. The photograph captures a moment frozen in time, transporting us back to an era when Britain's military prowess was at its peak. The subject of this portrait is a Grenadier Guards Drummer, resplendent in his uniform adorned with intricate details. His iconic bearskin hat stands tall atop his head, symbolizing both strength and tradition. As we gaze into his eyes, we catch a glimpse of the heroism that lies within him. Cundall's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition - from the drummer's meticulously tailored clothing to the drum he holds with pride.

Queen Victoria herself would have been familiar with these brave men who protected her empire during her reign as Empress of India and Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. Through Cundall's lens, we are granted access to a bygone era filled with honor and duty. Now housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this salted paper print from glass negative serves as a testament to both Cundall's artistic vision and our shared heritage. It reminds us that behind every soldier lies a story waiting to be told – one that deserves recognition for their unwavering commitment in service to
