CDV of a Victorian Cavalry Officer c.1900

A clear and crisp, well preserved portrait of a Dragoon in full dress. A nice study, in good condition. I believe this gentleman is with the 6th Dragoon Guards. His name is on the back and it is dated 1890. Maybe a research project, possibly served long enough to be in South Africa.  read more
