EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished 42nd Highlanders, famously known as the Black Watch. Taken during the Crimean War in 1856, this historic image captures a moment of camaraderie and resilience among these brave Scottish soldiers. In this group portrait, we see three veterans seated together - Muir, Glen, and McKenzie - proudly donning their traditional military uniforms adorned with bearskin hats and sporran. Their beards add an air of ruggedness to their appearance while they enjoy a well-deserved break from duty. The scene is set with a decanter of wine placed on a table beside them, hinting at moments shared over drinks as they recount tales of valor and survival. The presence of pipes suggests that smoking was another cherished pastime for these warriors amidst the chaos of war. As we gaze upon this photograph captured by Joseph Cundall and Robert Howlett, we are transported back in time to witness the stoic faces etched with experience and determination. Each detail within this image tells a story; it speaks volumes about honor, sacrifice, and unwavering loyalty to country. Preserved by the National Army Museum in London for generations to come, this remarkable piece serves as a poignant reminder of those who fought bravely during one of history's most significant conflicts. It stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit embodied by these gallant members of the British Army's 42nd Highlanders – forever immortalized through photography.
