EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the essence of Field-Marshal Earl Frederick Sleigh Roberts, a prominent British military leader of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The image, created by Robinson around the turn of the century, is taken from Cassell's History of England, Vol. IX, published by Cassell and Company. Roberts, dressed in the uniform of a British army commander, dons an aiguillette and gold braid, signifying his high rank as a field marshal. His stern yet resolute expression conveys the gravity of his military duties, while his well-groomed facial hair and neatly trimmed beard add to his distinguished appearance. Born in 1832, Roberts rose through the ranks of the British army, earning fame for his victories in the Second Anglo-Afghan War and the Second Boer War. He was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Army in 1894, a position he held until his retirement in 1900. This photograph is a testament to the fashion and concept of military apparel during the era of imperialism and imperialist expansion. The image, reminiscent of the monochrome aesthetic popular in literature and art of the time, adds to the timeless quality of the portrait. Roberts' military career was marked by his unwavering dedication to his country and his troops. He was awarded numerous medals for his bravery and leadership, including the Victoria Cross and the Order of the Bath. His legacy as a respected military leader continues to inspire generations of soldiers and historians alike.
