EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Soldier, 1845-50" takes us back to the mid-19th century. Created by Calvert Jones, a renowned photographer of that era, this image captures the essence of military life during Victorian times. The soldier in focus stands tall and proud in his uniform, representing the bravery and dedication of those who served their country. His stern expression hints at the challenges he may have faced on the battlefield. The photograph's monochromatic tones add a sense of timelessness and evoke a feeling of nostalgia for an era long gone. What sets this portrait apart is its deeper meaning - it sheds light on disability within the military community. The soldier's wounded appearance suggests that he has endured physical hardships while serving his country. This thought-provoking element invites viewers to reflect upon sacrifice and resilience. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this salted paper print from a paper negative showcases Calvert Jones' exceptional talent as both an artist and historian. It serves as a testament to his contribution in capturing moments that would otherwise be lost to time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of heritage art, we are reminded not only of our shared history but also of the sacrifices made by soldiers throughout generations.
